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…

Mechanisms and motivations of medicinal plant use against dysmenorrhea
Background: Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) negatively impacts the lives of many women on a global scale. For centuries, women across the world have relied on medicinal plants to treat dysmenorrhea. For an industrialized country like the Netherlands, however, data on such plant use is almost absent. This study aimed to document which plant taxa women in the Netherlands use to treat dysmenorrhea and their motivations behind plant choice. Metho…
Traditional Aucan knowledge on fish and plants eaten by fish along the Tapanahoni River, Suriname
Suriname's freshwater systems are home to a large diversity of (endemic) fish species, and communities of Suriname's interior strongly depend on this diversity for their nutrient intake. However, studies on traditional knowledge of the country's freshwater fish and fish-plant interactions are scarce. Here, we present our findings of a pilot study in the Aucan Maroon community of Diitabiki (Tapanahoni river). We report the species of freshwater fi…
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…
