Botanical | Gynerium is very important in the construction of native huts, especially the walls in Darien, Choco, and San Blas (!). In Colombia, it is occasionally cultivated as a construction material, as a combustible, and for use in weaving. Giant cane houses are said to last for 200 years in xeric environments. Roots are diuretic, and are used for alopecia. The flower stalks, known as viruli, are used for arrows, spears, etc. (!). (references) |
