Found OCA Oxalis tuberosa said to
be a lost Inca tuber. A late fall baby potato like plant. This found
in Nichols.

'Lost'????? It's grown commercially in NZ where it is known as NZ yam.

Farml do you know of any other lost vegetables ?

The only one that garden magazines regularly put into that group would be
the Wollemi Pine, however, since no-one except maybe at a pinch, a lost
Aboriginal knew it might perhaps have ever existed, I wouldn't even include
that as being 'lost'. It was just never known by anyone in the western
world until 'discovered'.

I don't think any plants are ever lost except in the case of species
extinction. Plants in certain cultures might be unknown, but that is not
the same thing as 'lost'.
