We are ...of the jungle
We are not a big business, simply a devoted family team of plant lovers and researchers dedicated to preservation and propagation.
Bringing these things together has been part of many years travel along rain-
forest paths and garden paths, down archive corridors and nueral corridors.
As always, the plants remain the real teachers. They are heuristic by nature,
enabling seekers of truth to find their own answers. Growing a plant can be a
profound spiritual exchange. There is a complete encyclopedia of teachings
being shown to us in the life-form symptoms we call a species.
An increasingly compelling sense of significance is growing around tropical
plantlife as the wildly accelerating pace of rainforest devastation at the hand
of puny humans continues. The extinction spectre seems to be stimulating a
calling-out by the more sentinent plant species toward influence in the lives
of humans. It is this spirit we serve this collection to you. Listen well for
such callings, time is short. The song of the jungle is sometimes a scream...
This catalog represents part of our commitment to Direct Action in these urgent
times. Those who have been involved with us over the years will know of the
fruitful botanical projects sponsered by ...of the jungle. We thank everyone
who has supported our efforts with their orders and encouragement.
The propagule units listed here are intended for cultivation as houseplants
only. The data provided on folk uses is given for historical interest and can
be found in ethnobotanical literature. We do not suggest or imply attempting
such folk use, nor guarantee any such claims regarding medicinal or other
attributes to be correct, for the original sources may be inaccurate or
unfounded. We accept no responsability for the outcome of use or misuse of any-
thing we offer. Placing an order constitutes agreement to those terms.
This is a mail-order catalog and all prices are calculated to include our pre-
paring and packing plus shipping costs. We handle orders rapidly and personally
and the best way sometimes involves expensive postage, but we don't like to
risk plantlife or your satisfaction. Most items and all plants are shipped
First Class Priority Mail (not UPS), but we will send any plants Overnight
Express (usually $12.50 extra) on request. Most items are ready for immediate
shipment upon ordering. Seeds and botanical products are available year-round.
Live plants and cuttings (marked with * by price) will be supplied beginning
Feb/Apr till Oct/Nov, depending on hardiness and destination. Most live plants
are ready for shipment upon ordering, a few are prepared in batches during the
season.
Next catalog or suppliment will list many more things now being readied for
distribution. We have a steady stream of long-awaited plants, seeds, exotic
herbs and products coming in regularly through our network of foreign collabor-
ators, travelling friends, as well as our own expeditions. Anything special
you've been looking for? Maybe we have it, or can source it or direct you.
Please inquire. Include a SASE unless inquiry accompanies an order.
