Ethnobotany and mining heritage
Aljustrel is a mining town located in southern Portugal, within the Iberian Pyrite Belt and since the Antiquity the local geological resources have been exploited. As in most human communities, plants sustained the miners’ health, diet, and labor. Plants helped to address the hard conditions of mining life, because respiratory illnesses and wounds were very common and were treated with local medicinal plants. Besides healing, local flora was used…
The guitar of Baixo Alentejo (Portugal) - a journey into botanical traditions
In Baixo Alentejo, a historic province in southern Portugal, musical traditions are deeply intertwined with nature, particularly through a local chordophone known as the campaniça guitar, crafted from both exotic and native Portuguese woods. This distinctive guitar, commonly played at rural festivals to provide harmony and rhythm to improvised songs, represents a centuries-old tradition that connects Portuguese culture with plant resources. Altho…
The willow (Salix sp.) toothpicks from the Cistercian Monastery of Lorvão (Penacova, Portugal)
In Portugal, the tradition of handmade white willow (Salix alba L.) toothpicks began in the Cistercian Monastery of Lorvão (Penacova), in an uncertain date during the 17th century.

Handmade toothpicks, following ancient methods, ar…
Wooden locks and keys from Corvo Island (Azores, Portugal)

Central to this craft is cedro-do-mato [Juniperus brevifolia (Seub.) Antoine], an endemic species of juniper found in the Azores. Artisans on Corvo have honed their skills in working with this and other local woods to create a variety of functional wooden locks characterized by intricate carvi…
Women and violets in France (1800-1920) – a visual journey
Violets were an important trade plant, sold in the streets and markets of European and North America cities throughout the nineteenth century up to the 1920’s, when they began to be out of fashion. France was a major producer of violets and many activities associated with them, such as picking and selling, were commonly done by women. Here we present a selection of photos from Beja Botanical Museum's collection that represents cultural interactio…
