For other uses, see Wiraqucha (disambiguation). Viracocha is the great creator god in the pre-Inca and Inca mythology in the Andes region of South America. Full name and some spelling alternatives are Wiracocha, Apu Qun Tiqsi Wiraqutra, and Con-Tici (also spelled Kon-Tiki) Viracocha. Viracocha was one of the most important deities in the Inca pantheon and seen as the creator of all things, or the substance from which all things are created, and intimately associated with the sea.[1] Viracocha created the universe, sun, moon, and stars, time (by commanding the sun to move over the sky) and civilization itself. Viracocha was worshipped as god of the sun and of storms. He was represented as wearing the sun for a crown, with thunderbolts in his hands, and tears descending from his eyes as rain. Cosmogony according to Spanish accounts According to a myth recorded by Juan de Betanzos,[2] Viracocha rose from Lake Titicaca (or sometimes the cave of Paqariq Tampu) during the time of darkness to bring forth light.

  • Phylogeny of the American Amaryllidaceae Based on Nrdna ITS Sequences
    Systematic Botany (2000), 25(4): pp. 708±726 q Copyright 2000 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists Phylogeny of the American Amaryllidaceae based on nrDNA ITS sequences ALAN W. M EEROW USDA-ARS-SHRS, 13601 Old Cutler Road, Miami, FL 33158 and Fairchild Tropical Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Road, Miami, Florida 33158 CHARLES L. GUY and QIN-BAO LI University of Florida, Department of Environmental Horticulture, 1545 Fi®eld Hall, Gainesville, Florida 32611 SI-LIN YANG University of Florida, Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center, 3205 College Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33314 Communicating Editor: Kathleen A. Kron ABSTRACT. Analysis of three plastid DNA sequences for a broad sampling of Amaryllidaceae resolve the American genera of the Amaryllidaceae as a clade that is sister to the Eurasian genera of the family, but base substitution rates for these genes are too low to resolve much of the intergeneric relationships within the American clade. We obtained ITS rDNA sequences for 76 species of American Amaryllidaceae and analyzed the aligned matrix cladistically, both with and without gaps included, using two species of Pancratium as outgroup taxa. ITS resolves two moderately to strongly supported groups, an Andean tetraploid clade, and a primarily extra-Andean ``hippeastroid'' clade. Within the hippeastroid clade, the tribe Grif®neae is resolved as sister to the rest of Hippeastreae. The genera Rhodophiala and Zephyranthes are resolved as polyphyletic, but the possibility of reticulation within this clade argues against any re-arrangement of these genera without further investigation. Within the Andean subclade, Eustephieae resolves as sister to all other tribes; a distinct petiolate-leafed group is resolved, combining the tribe Eucharideae and the petiolate Stenomesseae; and a distinct Hymenocallideae is supported.

    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 503 THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS BY NANCY VANDER VELDE ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. AUGUST 2003 Uliga Figure 1. Majuro Atoll THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ABSTRACT Majuro Atoll has been a center of activity for the Marshall Islands since 1944 and is now the major population center and port of entry for the country. Previous to the accompanying study, no thorough documentation has been made of the vascular plants of Majuro Atoll. There were only reports that were either part of much larger discussions on the entire Micronesian region or the Marshall Islands as a whole, and were of a very limited scope. Previous reports by Fosberg, Sachet & Oliver (1979, 1982, 1987) presented only 115 vascular plants on Majuro Atoll. In this study, 563 vascular plants have been recorded on Majuro. INTRODUCTION The accompanying report presents a complete flora of Majuro Atoll, which has never been done before. It includes a listing of all species, notation as to origin (i.e. indigenous, aboriginal introduction, recent introduction), as well as the original range of each. The major synonyms are also listed. For almost all, English common names are presented. Marshallese names are given, where these were found, and spelled according to the current spelling system, aside from limitations in diacritic markings. A brief notation of location is given for many of the species. The entire list of 563 plants is provided to give the people a means of gaining a better understanding of the nature of the plants of Majuro Atoll.

The most important family was Asteraceae with 22 species, followed by Fabaceae s.l. with 11, and Solanaceae with eight. More than 90 general medicinal indications were recorded to treat a wide range of illnesses and ailments. The highest number of species and applications were reported for digestive system disorders (stomach ailments and liver problems), musculoskeletal body system (rheumatism and the complex of contusions, luxations, sprains, and swellings), kidney and other urological problems, and gynecological disorders. Some medicinal species had magic connotations, e.g. for cleaning and protection against ailments, to bring good luck, or for Andean offerings to Pachamama, ‘Mother Nature’. In some indications, the separation between medicinal and magic plants was very narrow. Most remedies were prepared from a single species, however some applications were always prepared with a mixture of plants, e.g.

  • Medicinal Flora Consumption in Peru
    Ecosystems and Sustainable Development XI 173 MEDICINAL FLORA CONSUMPTION IN PERU ISABEL MARIA MADALENO The National Museum of Natural History and Science, University of Lisbon, Portugal ABSTRACT The current submission is the sequel of a Latin American project on the issue of medicinal flora growth, trade and consumption that was initiated about two decades ago, in 1997. The aim of the research is threefold: i) to offer information about medicinal plant species from tropical environments; ii) to describe best practices in urban and peri-urban sustainable agriculture and forest management projects; and iii) to improve research about the learning processes and fair use of medicinal flora natural resources. Methodology includes an archival investigation into the areas under scrutiny in early colonization times, so as to compare landscape descriptions from the 16th to the 18th century, as well as the use of plant species as food, fuel and for therapeutic applications, with the surveys conducted in our days. The study is a tale of two cities, field researched with a ten-year interval. The first one is Lima, the capital of Peru, within which 8 million metropolitan agglomerations included the port city of Callao in 2006. The second city is Piura, an urban centre of 1,844,100 inhabitants, explored in 2016. Results show an increase in medicinal flora consumption and trade, top ranking chamomile in both urban samples, a surprising fidelity in ten years and two different cities. As to environmental conservation and sustainable practices, results show that species named by the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, and Antonio Ulloa in the 16th and 18th centuries are still available; this gives us hope that the trend of exploitation is sustainable.
