Note from the Editors

This book has been translated from its original Spanish into English. There are several Spanish editions by various publishers, each with their own method of organization and presentation, and unfortunately they display a wide range of editorial quality; text missing in one edition could be found in another. We have attempted to consolidate the available texts and include all applicable information as written by Samael Aun Weor. This has been done in strict awareness of the warnings given by the author at the end of this book.

Much research was done in order to identify the English and scientific names of the plants listed in this book. These have been included as available. In cases where the English name of a specified plant could not be found, the Spanish name of the plant has been listed in quotations. The publisher eagerly seeks additional information regarding the English or scientific names of the as-yet-unidentified plants.

The photographs and illustrations are as accurate as we have been able to determine; however, the reader is well-advised to rely on the text as the authority rather than the images, as there remains the possibility that some photograph or another may be inaccurate.

It should be noted that some of the plants listed in this book are indigenous to specific parts of Colombia, South America, and Mexico.
