kwanmatwa
kind of yam, related to kawehae with a large mass of tubers that have red flesh and are sweet. It has the same type of flesh as that variety but the leaves differ in shape
Example: If a person loses some of his yams in the garden to various conditions, such as poor soil or disease, these two varieties will always continue to grow, being very hardy and resilient. This yam was originally from Iankahi but now the village is losing this variety. However, some people in Port Resolution still grow it
