Manihot Mill.
Manihot is an entirely New World genus with ca. 100 species. They range from the southern United States to South America. A few species are grown as ornamentals (none, however, mentioned in the European Garden Flora) or for their edible roots (M. esculenta Crantz). Probably none is trully hardy in western Europe, except perhaps M. grahamii. The latter has been recorded as an alien in Belgium.
