No, Kumara is the local version of a sweet potatoe which grows in Oceania, mainly in the Pacific rim islands and New Zealand and Australia. In the Caribbean islands it's called Ñame and in Peru it is called Camote. They are all different versions of the sweet potatoe, they have different external and internal colouring, depending on the area they are being grown. Basically they are all kind of yellowish/orange once you cook it and its sweeter that potatoes. Some Kumara skin may be kind of purplish (Camote may have some purple spots but the skin of camote is basically brown)
