Sacred plants of the Maya forest

BBC, 5 June 2009

 

Some of the Central American rainforest's hidden treasures are being

revealed by the Maya, more than a millennium after their passing. A

study of the giant trees and beautiful flowers depicted in Maya art has

identified which they held sacred. Created during the Maya Classic

Period, the depictions are so accurate they could help researchers spot

plants with hitherto unknown medicinal uses. The research is published

in the journal Economic Botany.
