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'.

semantics

plural noun [usu. treated as sing. ]
the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. There are a
number of branches and subbranches of semantics, including formal
semantics, which studies the logical aspects of meaning, such as sense,
reference, implication, and logical form, lexical semantics, which
studies word meanings and word relations, and conceptual semantics,
which studies the cognitive structure of meaning.

€ the meaning of a word, phrase, sentence, or text : such quibbling over
semantics may seem petty stuff.
