cassava

Da es aber gerade die trockene Jahreszeit war, fand sich an einigen Stellen fast gar kein Wasser, oder es fehlte wenigstens eine sichtbare Strömung. An den Ufern des Baches traf ich auf liebliche grasreiche Wiesen, und an den höher gelegenen Uferstellen, welche das Wasser vermutlich nie erreichte, grünten zahlreiche Tabaksblätter auf starken und hohen Stengeln. Auch andere, mir aber unbekannte Pflanzen, die vielleicht, ohne daß ich es wußte, besondere gute Eigenschaften besaßen, fanden sich dort. Ich suchte vor Allem nach der Maniokpflanze, welche den Indianern in diesen Erdgegenden überall statt des Brodes dient, aber es war keine zu sehen. Dagegen bemerkte ich große Aloëstauden und etwas wildes, aus Mangel an Pflege verkümmertes Zuckerrohr.
but this being the dry season, there was hardly any water in some parts of it—at least not enough to run in any stream, so as it could be perceived. On the banks of this brook I found many pleasant savannahs or meadows, plain, smooth, and covered with grass; and on the rising parts of them, next to the higher grounds, where the water, as might be supposed, never overflowed, I found a great deal of tobacco, green, and growing to a great and very strong stalk. There were divers other plants, which I had no notion of or understanding about, that might, perhaps, have virtues of their own, which I could not find out. I searched for the cassava root, which the Indians, in all that climate, make their bread of, but I could find none. I saw large plants of aloes, but did not understand them. I saw several sugar-canes, but wild, and, for want of cultivation, imperfect. I contented myself with these discoveries for this time, and came back, musing with myself what course I might take to know the virtue and goodness of any of the fruits or plants which I should discover, but could bring it to no conclusion;
