Moody (October 18,1961) Alternative Title Letter from Clugston to Moody (October 18, 1961) Subject Lake Apopka (Fla.) Introduced organisms Colocasia Taro Plants--Florida Description A letter of correspondence between Harold L. Moody and James "Jim" P. Clugston, both fishery biologists working for the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission (merged into the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in 1999). The letter discusses the identification of a plant specimen found near Lake Apopka by Harold L. Moody and identified by Erdman West as Taro, Colocasia esculenta. Taro is native to Africa and considered an invasive species in Florida. Taro was introduced to the Americas as a food crop for slaves. This letter may serve as evidence of the introduction of this plant to Central Florida by 1967. Type Text Source Photocopy of original 1-page typewritten letter from James "Jim" P.

(Bob) Aldrich Director 3940 S.W. 14th Terrace Fort Lauderdale, Florida October 18, 1961 Mr. Harold Moody Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission P.O. Box 569 Leesburg, Florida Dear Harold: Your directions were good and I found the flowering plants of Elephant Ear without any trouble. However, keying it out was a little different story. I could not take it past the arum family with the keys I have available. Therefore, I sent a speciman[sic] to Erdman West at Gainesville and he identified it as Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott.. It is considered a cultivated escape and is not found in Small or Gret. Since (if I remember correctly) you keyed it to Orontium, I would appreciate the speciman[sic] you have for me so I can be sure we are talking about the same plant. Orontium aquaticum should be common in the area although I have never collected it at Lake Apopka. Either we have two different plants or you have gone astray using Small -- a real easy thing to do. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Jim James P.
