The relationship between palms and humans has been very close since
the beginning of ancient civilisations and this relationship shows
no signs of diminishing. Palms are as relevant today as they were
for the ancient Aztecs, since they have always provided food,
shelter, materials and medicines. The Culiacan Botanical Garden
recognises the importance of palms for humans and has worked on
obtaining and protecting various species. This collection is one of
the largest in Mexico. Each entry includes the common name of the
species, other names by which the palm is known, its scientific
name, conservation status and geographical distribution. It also
mentions the habitat, its main characteristics, the relationship it
has with others species and how it arrived at the Botanical Garden.
This volume offers a selection of images with details of the
leaves, the fruit, the trunk and the flower. There are also
illustrations by the artist Sofía Táboas about the species in the
nursery.
