notes:
This work was published anonymously. The plants illustrated here figure predominantly in Mapuche Indian medicine. Culen, Psoralea glandulosa, commonly known as culen scurt pea and Jesuit's tea, was a common medicinal herb of the Mapuche. The Chilean palm, Jubaea chilensis, is commonly known as Chilean wine palm or coquito palm. The pine tree, Araucaria araucana, commonly known as monkeypuzzle tree or, in Spanish, as pehuén, was prized by the Mapuche who used its seeds as a staple food. They also used the tree as a center for their ceremonies.
