The prehistoric Cueva Pintada (Painted Cave) located on the island of Grand Canary in the Canary Islands archipelago. The cave was discovered by accident in 1862 during agricultural digging work. When it was first found, it contained skeletons, pottery and other utensils. The paintings themselves consist of precisely delineated geometrical patterns painted in ochre, a pigment derived from minerals. Archaeologists think that, due to their regular distribution (usually in series of twelve), they could be a sort of calendar. They were created by the Canarii, the indigenous inhabitants of the island prior to the Spanish invasion in the 15th century. The Canarii (also known as the Guanche) were of North African origins, and genetic testing of their mummies found they were closely related to Moroccans, Berbers and Spaniards.

The first carbon-14 analysis made on the cave was on the wall paintings. This gave no results because the paint used carried no trace of carbon, being entirely non-organic. Some vegetal remains of a plant from the family Lauraceae were found in the mortar in the walls. These remains were dated between 1049 and 1257 BCE. Some fragments of pine wood were dated between 601 and 994 CE.

Cinnamon

Cinnamomum Verum

Known as: Ceylon cinnamon & sweet bark

Related plants: Cinnamon is a member of the Lauraceae or the laurels. It is a plant family that includes the true laurel and its closest relatives. This family comprises about 2850 known species in about 45 genera worldwide that can include Cinnamomum, bay, sassafras, bay laurel, litsea & cassytha.

Parts used: Inner bark

Habitat & Cultivation: This evergreen tropical tree is native to Sri Lanka, the neighbouring Malabar Coast of India, and Myanmar (Burma) and is also cultivated in South America and the West Indies. this species is found growing from the lowlands up to an altitude of 700 m. C. verum is a hardy species which tolerates a wide range of tropical soils.

Plant type: Perennial

Region: 10-12

Harvest: Give your cinnamon tree two to three years after planting to fully develop. When the bark is brown and the leaves are firm, the plant is ready for harvesting. Carefully Cut away the outer bark until you reach the yellow-orange inner bark then peel away strips of the inner bark until you reach the core of the branch or trunk. Dry the inner bark & let the peeled pieces in a single layer on a window screen or tray. They will curl as they dry until they resemble the cinnamon quills you’re used to.

Growing tips: Make sure the planting site is several feet away from other trees & at least six hours of direct sunlight on most days. Cinnamon plants prefer a rich, well-draining soil-A sandy loam will work well & don't do well in waterlogged soils, so don't plant in heavy clay or hardpan soils. They don't do well when temperatures fall below 40 degrees Fahrenheit or in very dry conditions.

Medicinal information: Cinnamomum verum has been reported to have anti-diabetic, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. Cinnamon oil is also used in dental and pharmaceutical products. Cinnamon leaf oil has been found to be effective in killing mosquito larvae & in some studies the leaf oil is being proposed for use as an insect repellent.

Cautions: Cinnamon usually causes no side effects. But heavy use could irritate your mouth and lips, causing sores. The oil can be a skin irritant & therefore should not be put directly on your skin.

Prunus laurocerasus (English laurel, Cherry laurel) and Bombus melanopygus (Orange-tailed bumblebee)

Confusingly, the English laurel isn’t a member of the laurel family (Lauraceae) but, rather, belongs to the cherry family (Prunus). Some people treat them like topiaries and prune them flat on the top. This produces such a dense forest of flowers that it’s a wonder that local pollinators (like this orange-tailed bumblebee) can keep up with the demand. Not only is this plant not a laurel but it’s not from England either being native to the area of the Black Sea.

Fascinating flora #4

Cinnamon

A member of the lauraceae family, this plant is related to other laurels, such as camphor, bay laurel, avocado, and sassafras.

Cinnamon is the inner bark of the tree by the same name, and has been coveted throughout history for its flavor and smell.

Originally discovered in what is now Sri Lanka, Ceylon cinnamon and other varieties of the plant now grow along most of South Asia. The spice has a long history of trade and regulation, and was once more valuable than gold in Egypt. It’s very hard to grow in North America and Europe.

Cinnamon has a few valuable health benefits, such as reducing inclination and cholesterol, and has some anti microbial properties. There’s some research to support a metabolical boost effect, though more research must be done as to the efficacy of that.

It’s used in many household dishes, from curries to baked goods to cold desserts.

In witchcraft, the oil of cinnamon is helpful for boosting connectedness and wisdom. Related to fire, this spice is good for confidence, awareness, manifestation, and motivation

It’s place as a valued spice makes it a strong reagent for anything involving abundance, luck, success, and fortune. It’s frequently paired with citrine, pyrite, green aventurine, rice or other grains, and citrus, for spells to attract money or luck.

Cinnamon also has some uses in spells involving passion and love.

Pacing around and rattling the bars of my cage thinking about how both bay laurel and camphor trees (both of the family lauraceae) can be quite good hosts for phytopthora ramorum without being harmed themselves but avocado (also of the family lauraceae) is routinely blighted by phytopthora cinnamomi... What does it MEAN why do some family members live peacefully with one kind of phytopthora and others get another kind and just like straight die???

#guess I found my rabbithole of the day #botanical fuckery #listen... LISTEN i have so much beef with phytopthora as a whole but like #makes no damn sense compels me tho.jpeg

Botany, Breeds and Varieties part 1

The avocado tree is an evergreen tree with an average height of 6 meters, but which can achieve up to 20 meters depending on the genotype .

The trunk of the tree is cylindrical, wavy, longitudinally grooved in the dark gray, with light and fragile wood, easy to break with the wind, and still has a low commercial value. The crown of the tree is dense, erect or distribute symmetrically. The leaves are alternate, petiolate with petioles from 15mm to 5 cm in length. The color of the leaves is reddish or beige when young and older green, leathery, 10-30 cm long and 3-10 cm wide, oval, lanceolate or elliptical, with an acuminate tip (Maranca, 1980; Koller, 1992).

The inflorescences of the avocado are axillary, appearing at the base of young shoots and grouped at the terminal part of the branches, acquiring the appearance of terminal panicles. The flowers are small, 5-15 mm in diameter, yellowish-green in color, with a characteristic odor and a short pedicel. The calyx of the flowers is yellowish green, with six sepals. The the corolla is absent. The stamens are 12 in number, divided into four groups of three, with nine functional staminoids and three of asymmetric length, with the longest internal stamens (Maranca, 1980).

The ovary is unicarpellar and uniovular, with a stigma and a disc-shaped stylus. The fruit is a fleshy monocarp berry formed by membranous epicarp(crust), leathery, mesocarp (pulp) with a butter

consistency and endocarp (structure surrounding the seed). The form can varies between oval, pyriform or rounded and the external color may vary between green, brown or purple. The seed, also known as the "core", presents itself one in number per fruit, large in size, ovoid in shape, brown in

colored and protected by the endocarp (Teixeira et al., 1992).

Systematically the avocado belongs to the botanical family of the Lauraceae, be included in the genus Persea, which covers about 150 species, with a center of origin in Mexico and Central America. This is the reason why the vast majority of species in the genus are found in tropical America and temperate America and only four described species are found in the Amazon (Montenegro, 1951; Maranca, 1980; Koller, 1992).

The genus Persea can be divided into two subgenera: Perseae Oreodaphne (Koller, 1992), however, Persea americana., which is the species considered the most important due to its value in fruit growing. He is found in the subgenus Persea (Canto, 1978; Koller, 1992) and Persea drymifolia, which for some time was considered a species, and gave birth to the avocado breed known as the Mexicana, currently adapted as a botanical variety of P. americana.

In addition to the Mexican breed, as mentioned above, the avocado the varieties can be classified agronomically into two other breeds, totaling three distinct races: Mexicana, Guatelmalteca and Antilhana, which botanically correspond to the botanical varieties of the Persea americana-var mill.

Drymifolia, Mill in Persea americana, var. Mill Americana and Persea nubigena. var. guatemalan.
