Introducing: Students of Ethnobotany

In a new guest series on Alien Plantation, students from UBC’s BIOL 343 Plants and People course (taught by Dr. Michael Hawkes, and TA’d by myself), have written their own blog posts about ethnobotanically important or interesting plants and their interactions with them. I will upload these over the next few weeks, for your enjoyment. Opinions expressed belong to the student, and everyone gets to have their own opinion! Of  course, no one ever runs out of things to learn, and I haven’t rigorously fact checked every detail in every post, so certainly, if you have new or better information on a topic, please let us know!
