MONTRICHARDIA ARBORESCENS

Specialty Definition: MONTRICHARDIA ARBORESCENS

DomainDefinition

Botanical

The toasted fruits are edible. Cuna roast the nuts in ashes, peel them and eat them. They fed the leaves to pigs. Parboiled leaves are poulticed for erysipelas. The acrid sap is applied to ulcers. Motorists ascending the rivers of Darien favor the castano side to the cativo side because there is less current on the slip-off side, usually occupied by the castano backed up by Mora. The Montrichardia thickets are often cleared to make way for lowland rice cultivation. Lengths of the poles about 2 feet long are often used to line the bottoms of dugouts! In the Choco it is being studied for pulp fiber potential. In Paraguay the starchy root is used for food. (references)
