Plants of the Gods: S2E3. Palms: The Sacred Princes of the Plant Kingdom

Palms- The Sacred Princes of the Plant Kingdom - In the words of the late ethnobotanist Richard Schultes, "A panorama does not seem tropical unless palms occupy a distinct and conspicuously visible part of the flora." Although primarily associated with lowland rainforests, palms range as far north as Scotland and as high as 10,000 feet in the Andes. Furthermore, palms are considered sacred by many if not most of the world's religions.
