The granules of Maranta arrowroot are rarely oblong, somewhat ovate-oblong, or irregularly convex, from 10 to 70 microns in diameter, with very fine lamellae, a circular hilum which is fissured in a linear or stellate manner.

 Scientific American Supplement, No. 415, December 15, 1883 by Various eBook by BookRags
By means of a rose, c, water is sprinkled over the entire surface of the sieve and separates the fecula from the fibrous matter.
The water, charged with fine particles of fecula, and forming a sort of milk, flows through the tube, z, into the lower part, N, of the washing apparatus, F, while the pulp runs over the sieve and falls into the grinding-mill, H.
This latter divides all those cellular portions of the fecula that have not been opened by the rasp, and allows them to run, through the tube, h, into the washing apparatus, F, where the fecula is completely separated from woody fibers.
