Store description excerpt
This 122-page app is the first of its kind. It illustrates the incredible high diversity of plants found in the western Amazon along with the sophisticated traditional plant knowledge of the Matses people with drawings of 361 plant species by artist Matsés Guillermo Nëcca Pëmen Mënquë. Illustrated plants include trees, lianas, palms, understory shrubs, epiphytes, grasses, and cultivated plants. It illustrates plants in all the main categories of plants present in the Matsés territory, including angiosperms (dicots and monocots), gymnosperms, ferns and mosses. 101 plant families are represented. For most species, pictures of fruits, flowers, and / or other useful diagnostic features are provided to recognize the species. The drawings are mainly based on photographs taken in the field while accompanied by Matsés shamans and identified by Dr. David w. Fleck, a biologist and linguist who lives with the Matses and conducts biological, linguistic, ethnographic and ethnobiological research with them since 1994.
