Most of the new research results reports on sacred flowers, edible plants of Tikal, flora of Yucatan, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Chiapas, Belize, Honduras, etc will be in PowerPoint format so that professors and instructors can use our material in their courses.
However this material is not intended to use used as filler for miscellaneous web sites who simply fill their pages from the work of others: the FLAAR material is for universities, museums, research organizations, and other appropriate institutes and associations. The photographs themselves are copyright 2015 FLAAR, and should be credited to Nicholas Hellmuth and Sofia Monzon.
Plants of the rain forests, swamps, and deserts are covered (yes, there are cactus covered dry areas in the "rain shadow" between Sierra de las Minas and the Motagua River of Guatemala). One of the remarkable sacred flowers of thousands of years of the Maya religion and iconography blooms here (we also raise them in our research garden).
We cover both Maya subsistence, diet (and occasionally recipes) for the Neo-tropical dominant plants of the ancient Maya.
