Saint John’s Bouquets
Blessed bouquets and wreaths, hung around homes, have functioned as protective charms for households throughout Europe. This biocultural practice seems to be widespread, although its diversity is not yet fully understood, especially in western Europe. In the Netherlands, we visited all villages where bouquets or wreaths are made and hung around the house on St. John’s Day (June 24th), posing the following questions: Which plant taxa were included…
What's in a name? Revisiting medicinal and religious plants at an Amazonian market
Background In spite of an increasing number of ethnobotanical market surveys in the past decades, few studies compare changes in plant species trade over time. The open-air market Ver-o-Peso (VOP) in Belém, located near the mouth of the Amazon River in the state of Pará, Brazil, is known for its wide variety of medicinal plants. A survey of VOP was published in 1984, but it remains unknown to what extent its botanical composition changed over 34 …
Marcgrave and Piso's plants for sale
The similarity patterns in floristic composition among Brazilian markets and the HNB indicate the current wider distribution and trade of the species that Marcgrave and Piso described in 1648 in the northeast. Migration of indigenous groups, environmental changes, globalized and homogenous plant trade, and different market survey methods played a role in these results. The HNB is a reference point in time that captures a moment of colonial cultur…
Plant Knowledge in the Historia Naturalis Brasiliae (1648)
The Historia Naturalis Brasiliae (HNB, 1648) is the most complete treatise on Brazilian flora and fauna created in the seventeenth century. Scientists Marcgrave and Piso depicted hundreds of plants and described uses, vernacular names, and diseases in Dutch Brazil. We aimed to verify whether these plants are still used similarly, using herbarium vouchers and taxonomic literature to identify the species described in the HNB and reviewing historica…
Religious affiliation and the intention to choose psychiatry as a specialty among physicians in training from 11 Latin American countries
The worldwide scarcity of psychiatrists makes the identification of the factors associated with the intention to choose this specialty an important issue. This study aims to evaluate the association between religious affiliation and the intention to choose psychiatry as a specialty among medical students from 11 Latin American countries. We conducted a cross-sectional, multi-country study that included first- and fifth-year students of 63 medical…
Ethnobotany of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy-Güicán
BACKGROUND: The Sierra Nevada del Cocuy-Güicán in the Colombian Andes is protected as a National Natural Park since 1977 because of its fragile páramo ecosystems, extraordinary biodiversity, high plant endemism, and function as water reservoir. The vegetation on this mountain is threatened by expanding agriculture, deforestation, tourism, and climate change. We present an ethnobotanical inventory among local farmer communities and discuss the eff…
