Ethnobotany in Mexico: An
Annotated Bibliography
Compiled by Hervé Gabriel Aguirre
The discovery of the New World resulted in the discovery and subsequent utilization of many new
species of plants, such as potato, avocado, chocolate, and coca. Ethnobotany, the study of the use of
plants by native people and the relationship to their environment, has been a part of the literature of
the New World since the sixteenth century. Bernardino de Sahagún, a Franciscan friar, was first to
examine the plant use of the Nahua. Since then, many others have studied the relationship of the
people of Mexico to their environment. The publications listed here are located in the Benson Latin
American Collection stacks, unless otherwise indicated.
