Chinese yam scientifically known as Dioscorea polystachya or Dioscorea batatas is an ornamental vine belonging to flowering plant in the yam family Dioscoreaceae. The plant is native to East Asia (Japan, Korea, Kuril Islands, Philippines, Vietnam) and was introduced into North America as an ornamental vine. In North America, D. polystachya is currently present in: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. Other names for Chinese yam are Chinese potato, cinnamon vine, cinnamon yam, hardy yam, Japanese mountain yam, Japanese yam, Korean yam, long Chinese yam, wild yam, yam, Japanese mountain vine, Common yam, yam vine and shan yao.
Chinese yam and cinnamon vine are frequently used common names for D. polystachya. Chinese yam refers to its origin from China where the tuber was regularly eaten for starch. The name cinnamon vine is attributed to the cinnamon-like fragrance of D. polystachya flowers. This cinnamon fragrance and showy flowers also contribute to D. polystachya’s attractiveness for horticultural use. The genus name “Dioscorea” is from Dioscoride, in honor of Greek pharmacologist and botanist Pedanius Dioscorides. Polystachya comes from Greek poly & stachys: having many spikes. The edible tubers are cultivated largely in Asia and sometimes used in alternative medicine. This species of yam is unique as the tubers can be eaten raw. People in China eat the roots as a mild tonic food, along with other yams. Japanese people call it nagaimo, which translates to long yam.
