For clarity, we recently began work on a document that catalogs all 40+ of these field accessions together in one place. While fleshing out the descriptions more thoroughly, we're incorporating greater detail about the Andean habitat of each collection, including companion plants associates, plus additional ethnobotany and regional history. We also recognize the value in sharing information about distribution -- what year we originally introduced an accession into cultivation, what it was (seed, cuttings, seedlings), what has been distributed over the ensuing years, and approximate quantities. It turns out that all this is a <i>much</i> larger undertaking than we'd first anticipated! In our scant 'spare' time, we've been looking over <i>thousands</i> of photos, reading through our old field notes, two decades of <i>Sacred Succulents</i> catalogs, and hundreds of pages of <i>SS</i> supplements, rare plant lists, etc., not to mention additional reference material. We now endeavor to work on this in stages, updating the webpage periodically, with the goal to have the entire project completed late in 2025. Expect more descriptions and images to be posted soon!</font></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">__</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div></font><div align="center" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><font face="times new roman, serif"><b><u><font color="#008000">The Jonathan Ott Book Project</font></u></b>:</font><br></div><font face="times new roman, serif" style="font-size: large;">We are collaborating with ethnobotanist Jonathan Ott on the publication of a deluxe series of his books, including completely new and long-out-of-print titles.<font size="4" style=""> </font></font><font size="4" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 27px;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><font face="times new roman, serif">These hand-made limited editions will be leather-bound, signed & numbered collector’s volumes with original art by renowned painter Donna Torres.</font></span></span></span></font></div><div align="center" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><font face="times new roman, serif"><b><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://jonathanottbooks.com/">www.jonathanottbooks.com</a></b></font><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><font face="times new roman, serif">The launch to this unparalleled series is a two-book box set of the long out-of-print <i>Ayahuasca Analogues</i> [densified 2nd edition!] and<i> Shamanic Snuffs</i>—currently, only 6 of these deluxe sets are available to purchase:<br></font><div align="center"><font face="times new roman, serif"><a rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://jonathanottbooks.com/product/limited_edition_ayahuasca_book/"><font color="#0000ff"><b>https://jonathanottbooks.com/product/limited_edition_ayahuasca_book/</b></font></a></font><br></div><font face="times new roman, serif"><i>Ayahuasca Analogues</i> and <i>Shamanic Snuffs</i> have been out of print for decades.
