New Blog // to the love of ethnobotany and spirit of adventure. By Baiva Prüse. 🌿 “Zieds ir tikpat liels kā jūra. Neskriet taisni jūrā, nebrist ziedā, nekāpt dvēselē, bet iet tuvu līdzās, apiet apkārt, palikt tuvu.” [In Latvian] Translation: “The flower is as big as the sea. Do not run straight in the sea, do not step into the flower, do not climb into the soul, but go next to it, around, to stay near.” 💚 A quote from Imants Ziedonis that is used in Baiba Prüse’s photo essay meant to inspire aspiring ethnobotanists. Baiba is one of our student members from Latvia whose research we are highlighting. The image here is one from the essay. For the complete photo essay, go check out the SEB student blog (link on the SEB website www.sebstudentblog.com). Are you one of our student members? Do you have some cool research or work you want to share? Get in touch! #ethnobotany #ethnobiology #ecenomicbotany #usefulplants #photoessay #latvia #studentresearch #youngscientist

For those who didn’t get the email, the conference in Jamaica has been postponed until 2021 due to the coronavirus outbreak. Wash your hands, don’t touch your face, and avoid crowded areas! We hope to see you all next year instead.

Time to get those tastebuds watering! The humble beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) is the sugary taproot of a plant from the Amaranthaceae. Like others in this family, it has edible leaves. The real treat for this particular plant is the root though, which has a range of culinary uses, can be used for dying fabrics and foods, and some cultivars are even used in sugar production! Indeed, there are many varieties of beet, not all of which are even red. In addition to their nutritional benefits, these veggies are tasty! Here we have a picture of borscht, a traditional soup from Eastern Europe made largely with beets! Photo from Wikipedia. #ethnobotany #economicbotany #usefulplants #beet #borsht #ethnobiology

The deadline for the society’s Richard Evan Schultes award is coming up on March 30th! This award meant to commemorate Dr. Schultes (1915-2001) is open to student members of the society to help cover costs of fieldwork for a topic related to economic botany. Want more info or want to know how to apply? Head over to the awards section on the society’s webpage.

Orchids have many uses - edible, medicinal, explosives manufacture! Finding uses of orchids as materials was a surprise for @mastersmiss and her colleagues when they analyzed patent documents to look at commercial interest in the group of orchids traded as salep. Previously this group of orchids were thought to be of limited use; solely as food and traditional medicine. 'Patent analysis as a novel method for exploring commercial interest in wild harvested species' has just been published #OpenAccess in the journal Biological Conservation. Here we are sharing a photo of Green-winged orchid (Anacamptis morio), one of the orchids used to make salep and a section of the oldest patent they found referring to using salep - from 1855 on using salep as an ingredient to help prevent thread from snapping during manufacture. Society for Economic Botany member @mastersmiss is working on her PhD research @NaturalisMuseum #ethnobotany #biodiversity #science #orchids #salep #WildlifeTrade #MedicinalPlants #EdibleOrchids #Orchidaceae #ConservationScience
