Solenostemon rotundifolius, also known as fabirama, frafra potato or pessa, is an annual herb belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It is widely cultivated in tropical regions of Africa and Asia for its edible tubers. S. rotundifolius has significant nutritional, medicinal and socioeconomic potential. Despite its proven potential, S. rotundifolius is one of the minor plants in its cultivation area. As a vegetatively propagated species, the morphotypes characteristics of S. rotundifolius are stable and could be a reference for a clear description and use of landraces. Several studies on the species were based mainly on tuber skin color to identify the morphotypes. However, using this criterion alone can lead to errors in identifying the morphotypes of S. rotundifolius. The present study was carried out to contribute to a better description of the morphotypes of S. rotundifolius cultivated in Burkina Faso and Ghana based on qualitative traits. Twelve accessions of S. rotundifolius, including five from Burkina Faso and seven from Ghana, identified based on leaves and inflorescence aspect, were characterized in Fisher block design with three replications. Thirty qualitative traits related to foliage, flowers, and tubers were recorded. Based on the morphological variability, eight morphotypes were identified. The most discriminating morphological traits were the young plant stem and leaves color, the leaves thickness, the apical leaves color, the flower organs color, the tuber shape, the tuber skin and flesh color. The characteristics of the morphotypes could be a reference for future descriptions of S. rotundifolius morphological variability and for breeding purposes.

“…Raw tubers are exceptionally nutritious (HUA et al, 2018). Tubers are consumed as curry, baked or fried (NANEMA et al, 2019). S. rotundifolius usefulness extends beyond food, and its tubers are popular for pharmaceutical and traditional medicine applications (HUA et al, 2018).…”

The present study aimed to verify the effect of the planting date on quantitative traits of S. rotundifolius. To this end, twelve accessions of S. rotundifolius, including six (6) from Burkina Faso and six (6) from Ghana, were subjected to agro-morphological evaluations using a Fisher block design with three replications at three dates: April 3rd (D1); June 3rd (D2) and July 8th (D3). Fourteen (14) quantitative traits related to the canopy and leaf size, the cycle, and the yield were recorded. Comparative analysis of the performance of accessions according to planting dates revealed significant differences for all the traits. These results showed that late planting (July) resulted in low canopy size. Late maturing of the accessions was observed in case of early planting (April). Planting in June (D2) resulted in good yielding and large canopy development. These results revealed that the planting date is a crucial parameter in S. rotundifolius phenotype. They could be useful for the development of suitable agronomic practices for S. rotundifolius growing and for breeding purpose.
