Once gathered as food by the indigenous people of the area, this plant is in decline due to trampling and heedless attempts at collection for home gardens. It is extremely delicate and if found in the forest, should be left undisturbed.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
