Morphological characterization of Mashua
This catalog contains passport information, morphologic data, and pictures of tubers, flower, plant, and herbarium specimens of 107 accessions of International Potato Center (CIP) Genebank mashua (Tropaeolum tuberosum) collected in Perú.
The CIP conserves mashua accessions that were collected in different farmer communities of Perú, Bolivia, and Argentina. Mashua is known as “añu”, “isaño” or “cubio”, it is an herbaceous perennial plant originating in the Andean region. Archeological evidence suggests that the tubers of mashua were consumed more than 7500 years ago. The natural habitat of distribution of this species goes from Colombia to Northern Argentina, between 2400 to 4300 meters of altitude. In the last decades, it has been cultivated in New Zeeland and Canada. In general, it is a hardy species that can grow at low temperatures and marginal soils with low fertilizer input.
