Araucariaceae Description
of the family, including geographic distribution, taxonomy, ethnobotany, and paleobotany.
http://www.botanik.uni-bonn.de/conifers/ar/index.htm

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" (

Taxus Baccata Description
European, English, or common yew. Taxonomy, description, range, ethnobotany, and other information.
http://www.botanik.uni-bonn.de/conifers/ta/ta/baccata.htm

Extractions: Foliage and pollen cones from an ornamental tree, Seattle (USA) [C.J. Earle, Mar-1999]. Taxus baccata Linnaeus European, English, or common yew ( Hartzell 1991 The hybrid T. baccata T. cuspidata is Hils 1993 ). All yew species are quite similar. Pilger (1916) described them all as subspecies of T. baccata , reserving subspecies eubaccata for the populations treated here. Britain to N Iran ( Silba 1986 ); widely cultivated in North America ( Hils 1993 ). It occurs in Croatia, where it is protected by law. The Fortingall Yew in Perthshire, Scotland, has a nominal girth of 15.8 m. The trunk is riven in two halves and much of the heartwood is gone, so this figure implies a substantially greater basal area than the tree in fact possesses. It appears (based in a photograph in [ Hartzell 1991 ]) to be about 13 m tall with a crown spread of about 20 m ( Hartzell 1991 Data on two other U.K. trees are: 29 m tall and 89 cm dbh for a tree at Belvoir Castle, Leics.; and 13 m tall, 334 cm dbh for a tree at Ulcombe Church, Kent (Mitchell et al.

Extractions: And specializing in Rare Ethnobotanical Seeds and Plants. Ethnobotany also traces the development of modern Medicine and Herbalism, the Paper Industry, The Chemical Industry, Rubber Industry and as mentioned above the Food Industry. Every year new species are being discovered or are being reconsidered for modern applications in all the above Industries and Sciences. It has now become a concern of the modern world to preserve and gather all information on the utility of these plant species. And this research is not beyond the reach of the common person, it is just often times over looked, for instance; Do you know the herbal remedies that say your grandmother or great grandmother used to for illnesses? Do you know how they harvested, dyed and made fabric from simple cotton or flax? If not then you can see why this science is most important. Our purpose primarily is to maintain a living herbaria of some of the more rare species of Ethnobotanical interests. By preserving seeds and plants and by offering them to private individuals, Educational Institutions, Research facilities and the Business sectors, hopefully these plants will be kept from extinction and will find a much broader application in our modern society.

Ethnobotany Definition
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.
http://anthro.fortlewis.edu/ethnobotany/ethno2.htm

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.

Ethnobotany Of The Middle Columbia Native Americans
ethnobotany of the Middle Columbia River Native Americans Intro. Plant list Intro Patterns of subsistence Caretakers of the land
http://www.cwnp.org/ethnobot2.html

Extractions: People have lived in Central Washington for over 12,500 years. Before contact with European cultures people lived in close proximity to the Columbia River, and journeyed up the valleys and into the Columbia Plataeu for seasonal hunting and gathering trips. People lived in very small groups, made up of close family ties. These groups might have been composed of 2 to 15 people that travelled to hunting and gathering grounds together. As time went on the population of this area expanded and people began to form small bands, and occupy small villages. Tribal groups in this area include Salishan speaking people to the north- the Methow (Mitois, Chiliwists), Entiat (Sinialkumuhs, Point de Bois), Chelan (Tsill-anes) Wenatchee (Pisquows, Wenatchi), Sinkiuse (Kawachens, Moses Columbia, Isle des Pierres), and Shahaptian speaking groups to the south- the Wanapums (Sakulks) and the now extinct groups of Pshwahwapam and Mical. This area is thought to have sustained at least 20,000 to 30,000 Native Americans before infectious diseases, war, and the reservation system decimated the population.
Gail E
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.

Dietrich 1824 abies The genus is related most closely to Pinus , but differs markedly even from that. It is a very uniform genus, clearly monophyletic with no aberrant species, so generic segregation has never been suggested ( Farjon 1990 ). There are 33 species treated here, though a careful re-evaluation of the poorly-studied East Asian taxa would probably reduce this number ( Farjon 1990 Sigurgeirsson and Szmidt 1993 ). Classification within the genus is problematic, and no fully satisfactory phylogeny has yet been worked out despite numerous attempts ( Wright 1955 Bobrov 1970 Liu 1982 Page and Hollands 1987 ... Sigurgeirsson and Szmidt 1993 ). Extensive hybrid introgression and gene exchange between a number of species complicates the research; few spruces have well-established barriers to hybridisation.
