    Extractions: Phylogenetic relationships within the Araucariaceae inferred from rbcL gene sequences (after Kershaw and Wagstaff 2001 choose a genus: Agathis Araucaria Wollemia Araucariaceae Araucaria family. Three genera with 40 species. Some authors elevate the family to the level of an order, Araucariales Heintze (1927). Relationships within the family, long contested (see the Agathis and Araucaria descriptions), have recently been elucidated by genetic (rbcL) analyses performed on 29 species within the family (Setoguchi et al. 1998). Phylogenetic trees for these analyses agree that all three genera are monophyletic and that Wollemia is the most primitive of the three. Within Araucaria , the four sections previously recognized ( Araucaria, Bunya, Eutacta , and Intermedia ) are supported, but relationships within Agathis remain somewhat unclear (see Agathis for more information). "The New Caledonian Araucaria and Agathis species each formed a monophyletic group with very low differentiation in rbcL sequences among them, indicating rapid adaptive radiation to new edaphic conditions, i.e., ultramafic soils, in the post-Eocene era" (

Clay-Poole, Ph.D. Ethnobotany is the study of the relationship between cultures and plants. The following information is a condensed extraction from a list of references on the uses of western Washington plants by a wide variety of cultures. The plants are listed by scientific name and common name. The plants are initially listed as those found at cultural sites along the right-of-way previous to highway safety improvements in the state of Washington. None of the plants listed are recommended for use. But if plant material is utilized in some way by the viewer that individual species must be accurately identified by an expert and then used with caution.* Some plants are included because of interest and/or beauty and like the rest, may be susceptible to rapid decimation in local areas. Plants such as Tiger lily, Chocolate lily, and Calypso having edible bulbs necessitates destroying the entire plant for minimal sustenance. Please think conservatively if you feel you need to "take" a plant.

    Extractions: What is Ethnobotany and why is it important? The aim of Ethnobotany is to study how and why people use and conceptualize plants in their local environments. The two questions most asked are (1) how and in what ways people use nature and (2) how and in what ways people view nature. Ethnobotanists gather data mainly from living peoples in hopes of gathering a view of their past existence as well as an understanding of present uses of plants for food, medicine, construction materials, and tools. Ethnobotanical research can be a door into cultural realities as well as a way to understand the future of human relationships with this land we call Turtle Island, Bear's Back, and the Earth (Salmon 1999). The historical dimensions of ethnobotany that were largely listings of plants, names, and uses play a role in contemporary approaches to traditional plant knowledge. Most past researchers did not regard what the people thought about plants as important. The situation today is that researchers would like to include conceptualizations of plants in their studies, but do not have the methods to do this. This does not criticize ethnobotany, but rather attempts to build the framework upon which new methodological approaches can be explored. The first section briefly discusses the history of the definition of ethnobotany, then moves to a discussion of the primary methods of field research. This is followed by an overview of the recent flowering of the concept of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and its influence on ethnobotanical research and methods.

Translate from English to French English to German English to Italian English to Portuguese English to Spanish What is Ayahuasca SpiritQuest? SpiritQuest is an educational personal growth experience which introduces you to the unique natural environment, cultures, and people of the Peruvian Amazon within a safe, sensitive, intellectual and spiritual framework. SpiritQuest immerses you in the authentic grassroots shamanic culture of western Amazonia, enabling a deeper understanding of self and the unique plant healing practices for which the upper Amazon is renowned. Our perspectives on life, death, nature, plants, wildlife, people, culture, medicine, healing, the spirit world, and their intrinsic interrelationship will be enriched and expanded by the knowledge, wisdom, and sage practices shared with us by our gifted curanderos. Open enrollment is usually limited to twelve participants per workshop to insure optimal attention to individual needs and interests. You do not have to be part of a group in order to enroll...you will quickly become a part of our family here in Amazonia with new friends who will last a lifetime.

    Detailed profile of this University of South Carolina Associate Professor. Research interests include prehistoric archaeology of eastern North America and ethnobotany.  
    http://www.cla.sc.edu/ANTH/Faculty/Wagnerg/index.htm
    
    Extractions: My fields of study are the prehistoric archaeology of eastern North America and ethnobotany (the study of the interrelationships between plants and peoples). My current projects in ethnobotany include a study of homegardening in South Carolina (with student participation), plant use through time in South Carolina (paleoethnobotany see Ancient Gardening ), and seasoncal choice of diet in a late prehistoric society in southwestern Ohio. In archaeology, my interests are focused on late prehistoric/contact Indian societies in the southeast and foodways (food in a social and cultural setting). As part of a long-term project examining the rise and fall of the chiefdom of Cofitachequi in central South Carolina, I run a summer field school for undergraduate and graduate students. As a paleoethnobotanist, I maintain a lab and accept outside contracts to analyse macrobotanical plant remains from eastern U.S. sites. For over 20 years I have been involved in re-creating Indian gardens and researching flotation recovery techniques. I teach courses in ethnobotany, principles of archaeology, North American prehistory, archaeological lab methods, field work, surveying, ethics, and human evolution.

Joep has lived in South America since 1973 and is the discoverer of 14 aroid and bromeliad species including the beautiful Anthurium moonenii and Philodendron moonenii See the following for more information: Aroid is the common name for members of the Araceae family of plants, sometimes known as the Philodendron or Arum family. The sometimes beautiful and sometimes bizarre combination of spathe and spadix known as the inflorescence, and sometimes referred to as a "flower", is a distinguishing feature of all aroids.
