The Itza' Maya of the Petén in Guatemala preside over a unique rainforest biosphere in danger of disappearing. Equally at risk is their own botanical knowledge, from taxonomy to medicinal uses. This volume contains a history of the Petén Itza' Maya; explanation of Itza' taxonomy; tables and keys to plant usage; common names in English, Spanish, and several indigenous languages; and much more.
