APPENDIX B. PLANTS USED BY THE ARAUCANIANS 



Names of plants are here recorded in Spanish, followed by the 

 Araucanian names in parentheses. Scientific names are from Felix 

 Jose de Augusta's Diccionario Araucano-Espaiiol y Espaiiol-Arau- 

 cano, 2 vols., 1916; La Salud por Medio de las Plantas Medicinales, 

 1929; and Enrique Amandeo Campos' and Roman A. Perez Moreau's 

 Flora Argentina, Zona de Nahuel Huapi y Lanin, 1944. Dashes ( — 

 — ) indicate that the name could not be obtained. 



I do not know whether all plants listed below are indigenous to 

 both Chilean and Argentine Patagonia. Plants recorded in field notes 

 taken among both Chilean and Argentine groups are preceded by an 

 asterisk (*) ; those recorded as being used by the Argentine Arau- 

 canians but not found in the field notes taken among the Chilean 

 groups are preceded by two asterisks (**) ; those without an asterisk 

 were being used by Chilean Araucanians, but I do not know whether 

 they were ever used by the Argentine Araucanians. (Cf. Cooper, 

 1946, vol. 2, pp. 687-760, for additional plants used by Araucanians.)
