I've always thought that the super bright orange ones were yams and the yellow-ish ones were sweet potatoes. The image of the phylogeny of plants helps me make sense of it though. But the grocery store has been lying to me? And google images is lying to us? And that time that I thought I was growing yams in my garden I was really growing Beauregard sweet potatoes??
I've gone to the grocery store and pulled a bunch of sweet potatoes out of the same bin only to get to the cash and have some wrung through as sweet potatoes and others as yams based on the colour of the skin. It confused me. I imagine the cashier was confused as well.
