Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Botanist, 1902, Vol. 3: Devoted to Economic and Ecological Botany The roots of epiphytal Orchids differ from those of terrestrial plants is being covered with a white papery substance, called the velamen, and the cells of the velamen serve the double purpose of condensing or absorbing aqueous vapour from the atmosphere, when any is present, and of protecting the underlying cells from excessive evaporation during periods of drought. In its absorp tive character it is analagous with the outer cells of the bog-mosses (sphagnum) and L'eucobrjmm, where the small chlorophyll-bear ing cells are covered by large colourless cells, having very thin walls, which are variously perforated, and not only absorb water in liquid state, like a sponge, but also have the power of condens ing it when in the form of vapour. A double function appertains to the roots of epiphytal Orchids, firstly to fix the plant to the bark and secondly to supply it with nutriment. When the tip of a root comes in contact with a solid body it adheres closely to it, flattens itself out more or less, develops papilliform or tubular cells, which grow into organic union with the substratum, and act as holdfasts. But if the root extends beyond the limit of the substratum it ceases to develop these clamp - cells, and hangs down in the form of a white filament. Many o-f these aerial roots do not become attach ed at all but hang freely in the air, often forming regular tassels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive survey of organic compounds used as poisons—on arrows and spears, in food, and even as insecticides—by numerous Native American tribes. Biological warfare is a menacing twenty-first-century issue, but its origins extend to antiquity. While the recorded use of toxins in warfare in some ancient populations is rarely disputed (the use of arsenical smoke in China, which dates to at least 1000 BC, for example) the use of “poison arrows” and other deadly substances by Native American groups has been fraught with contradiction. At last revealing clear documentation to support these theories, anthropologist David Jones transforms the realm of ethnobotany in Poison Arrows. Examining evidence within the few extant descriptive accounts of Native American warfare, along with grooved arrowheads and clues from botanical knowledge, Jones builds a solid case to indicate widespread and very effective use of many types of toxins. He argues that various groups applied them to not only warfare but also to hunting, and even as an early form of insect extermination. Culling extensive ethnological, historical, and archaeological data, Jones provides a thoroughly comprehensive survey of the use of ethnobotanical and entomological compounds applied in wide-ranging ways, including homicide and suicide. Although many narratives from the contact period in North America deny such uses, Jones now offers conclusive documentation to prove otherwise. A groundbreaking study of a subject that has been long overlooked, Poison Arrows imparts an extraordinary new perspective to the history of warfare, weaponry, and deadly human ingenuity. “A unique contribution to the field of American Indian ethnology. . . . This information has never been compiled before, and I doubt that many ethnologists in the field have ever suspected the extent to which poison was used among North American Indians. This book significantly extends our understanding.” —Wayne Van Horne, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Kennesaw State University
