M$'Yam is the common name for some species in the genus Dioscorea'
"The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) has traditionally been referred to as a yam in parts of the United States and Canada, but it is not part of the Dioscoreaceae family.'
'The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the family Convolvulaceae.'
'The sweet potato is only distantly related to the potato (Solanum tuberosum). The softer, orange variety is often called a yam in parts of North America, a practice intended to differentiate it from the firmer, white variety.'
