The Ethnobotany of the Tukuna Indians Amazonas, Colombia / Linda Leigh Glenboski. This small tract details the methodology and findings of Glenboski's ethnobotany field study from July 19722 to February 1973. She records the use of botanicals by the indigenous the Tukuna Indians living along the Rio Loreto-Yacu river which feed the Amazon in Amazonas, Colombia. The majority of the botanicals listed are cultivated in house gardens although we are not informed how long this has been a practice for these people. This was published by the Universidad Nacional, Bogota in 1983. Glenboski deposited a complete reference collection of specimens, at the herbarium in Bogota.
