Synopsis Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses by : Alfred Russel Wallace
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ... PLATE V. Leopoldinia Major, n. sp. Jara assu, Linyoa Geral. The Jara assu or "greater Jara" closely resembles the last species, but it is considerably larger. The stem is four inches in diameter and reaches thirty feet in height. It is often much thicker at the bottom than in the upper part, and has a greater proportion of the stem bare. The leaves are very similar, but the spadices are larger, and the fruit is also larger and much more abundant. This tree occurs plentifully on the lakes and inlets of the upper Rio Negro, but is not found at the mouth of the river like the last species. It grows too at a lower level, being often found with a part of the stem under water. The Indians collect the fruit in large quantities, and by burning and washing extract a floury substance, which they use as a substitute for salt when they cannot procure that article. They assert positively that the smaller species of Jara will not yield the same product; but perhaps this may be only because the fruit is less abundant, and they do not take the trouble to collect it. Coarse Portugal salt is used in the Rio Negro, and among the Indians in the upper part of the river serves as a circulating medium, about a pound of it being reckoned equivalent to a day's work. The supply however is very uncertain, and there are many distant tribes which it scarcely ever reaches; and it is among them that the substitute is manufactured from the fruit of the Jara. It is doubtful, however, whether it contains any true salt, for it is described as being more bitter than saline in taste; yet with this alone to season their fish and cassava the Indians enjoy almost perfect health. Perhaps, therefore, mineral salt may not be such a necessary of life as we are accustomed to...

Synopsis Palm Trees Of The Amazon And Their Uses by : Wallace Alfred Russel
Alfred Russel Wallace is most known for his contributions to the theory of evolution by natural selection. He is a British explorer, naturalist, and scientist. His extensive travels to remote parts of the world, particularly the Amazon rainforest, are especially well-known. In his book "Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses," Wallace provides a full explanation of the many different types of palm trees that can be found in the Amazon rainforest as well as how the people utilize them. He details the many resources that the palms provide, such as food, shelter, medicine, and other essentials for surviving in the jungle. The social and cultural practices of the indigenous people who rely on these palm trees are also discussed by Wallace. He also talks about the financial potential of these palms and their importance in the global trade of other goods. Throughout the whole book, Wallace emphasizes the need of preserving the Amazon rainforest and its diversity of plant and animal life. He calls attention to the dreadful consequences that deforestation and resource exploitation may have on the environment and the lives of indigenous people who depend on it. The book "Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses" adds a lot to our knowledge of the Amazon rainforest and the value it has for both the locals and the rest of the world.

Synopsis The Palms of the Amazon by : Andrew Henderson
The palms are among the most abundant, diverse, and important families of plants found in the Amazon. Based on extensive field work, this book provides a systematic treatment of all palms that occur naturally in the Amazon region. Each species is exhaustively described with reviews of their distribution, habitat, and ecology. Introductory chapters describe the physical setting of the Amazon region as well as on the biogeography and ecology of the palm family. This first modern treatment of the 135 species of Amazon palms provides a definitive account of their ecology, uses, and biogeography. It will be welcomed by students, teachers, and researchers of botany, ecology, agronomy, and conservation biology.
