The arrowroot plant, cultivated for its
starch. The tubers being reduced to pulp with water, the fecula
subsides, and is washed and dried for commerce. It is a very pure
kind of starch, and very nutritious. The term arrowroot is said to
be derived from the fact that the natives of the West Indies use
the roots of the plant as an application to wounds made by poison
arrows.
