The Ethnobotany of Bermuda

​

From 2015-2017 I researched and wrote on the ethnobotany of Bermuda, with a focus on Sabal bermudana, the endemic Bermuda palmetto.  I created two texts from my research; the main thesis, entitled 'Of Fishpots, Bonnets and Wine', and an appendix of historically useful plants of Bermuda. Both will be published as books, but drafts are available here for early reading and feedback.
