Discover a window into Brazil’s gardens, spices, and medicines from a 19th‑century explorer. This section of Travels in Brazil, Vol. 2 gathers plant profiles, cultivation notes, and practical uses found around Recife, Olinda, and Pernambuco. It ranges from mangabeira and almecega gums to ipecacuanha varieties and contra-herva, showing how locals cultivate, harvest, and apply these plants in daily life and healing.

Rich with observations on how plants thrive in different soils and climates, the text also records how certain trees and shrubs are used in medicines, dyes, soaps, candles, and even as local remedies. It presents the challenges of cultivation, notes on productive regions, and reflections on the practical and economic roles these plants play in a colonial society. The material blends natural history with care for horticultural detail, offering a clear sense of the era’s botanical interest and everyday plant use.

Species profiles and their medicinal or practical applications, including resins, dyes, and purgatives.
