Seeds & fruit nuts..
http://library.advanced.org/17456/seedsall.html Plants have evolved a variety of ways to distribute their seeds. Some simply drop to the ground, others blow through the air on tiny, delicate "wings", others are moved through water, and still others are encased in fruits and have to survive a trip through an animal's digestive system before they sprout. It is important for seeds to be moved a good distance away from their parent plant, for it is almost impossible for a new seedling to grow directly under an older, established plant. http://www.rain-tree.com http://www.rain-tree.com/plist.htm Abuta Cissampelos pareira Acai Euterpe oleracea Acerola Malphigia glabra Achocha Cyclanthera pedata Ageratum Ageratum conyzoides Ajos Sacha Mansoa alliacea Alcachofra Cynara scolymus Amargo Quassia amara Amor seco Desmodium adscendens Anamu Petiveria alliacea Andiroba Carapa guianensis Annatto Bixa orellana Artichoke Cynara scolymus Aveloz Euphorbia tirucalli, insulana Avenca Adiantum capillus-veneris Ayapana Ayapana triplinervis Balsam of Tolu Myroxylon balsamum Balsam of Peru Myroxylon pereirae Bellaco-Caspi Himatanthus sucuuba Bitter Melon Momordica charantia Bobinsana Calliandra angustifolia Boldo Peumus boldus Brazil Nut Bertholletia excelsa Brazilian Peppertree Schinus molle Cabbage Tree Andira inermis Cacao Theobroma cacao Caigua Cyclanthera pedata Cajueiro Anacardium occidentale Calumba Jateorhiza palmata Campeche Haematoxylon campechianum Camu-Camu Myrciaria dubia Canafistula Cassia fistula Canchalagua Schkuhria pinnata Cancerillo Asclepias curassavica Carapia Dorstenia brasiliensis Carqueja Baccharis genistelloides Casca-de-Anta Drimys winterii Cascarilla Croton eluteria Cashew Anacardium occidentale Cat's Claw Uncaria tomentosa Catuaba Erythroxylum catuaba Cedro Rosa Cedrella odorata Chá de Bugre Cordia salicifolia, ecalyculata Chanca Piedra Phyllanthus niruri Chocolate Theobroma cacao Chuchuhuasi Maytenus krukovii Cipo Cabeludo Mikania hirsutissima Clavillia Mirabilis jalapa Clavo huasca Tynanthus panurensis Coirama Kalanchoe pinnata Condurango Marsdenia cundurango Contrayerva Dorstenia brasiliensis Copaiba Copaifera officinalis Cordia Cordia verbenacea Culen Otholobium glandulosum Cumanda Campsiandra angustifolia Cumaseba Swartzia polyphylla Cumaru Dipteryx odorata Cupuacu Theobroma grandiflorum Curare Chondrodendron tomentosum Damiana Turnera aphrodisiaca Embauba Cecropia peltata, palmata Epazote Chenopodium ambrosioides Erva Cidrera Melissa officinalis Erva Tostâo Boerhaavia hirsuta Espinheira Santa Maytenus ilicifolia Fedegoso Cassia occidentalis Genipap Genipa americana Gervão Stachytarpheta jamaicensis Graviola Annona muricata Guacatonga Casearia sylvestris Guaco Mikania cordifolia Guajava Cassia alata Guandu Cajanus cajan Guarana Paullinia cupana Guava Psidium guajava Gumbolimbo Bursera simaruba Hortela Mentha piperita Huacapu Minquartia guianensis Huacapurana Campsiandra angustifolia Huanarpo Macho Jatropha macrantha Iporuru Alchornea castaneifolia Jaborandi Pilocarpus jaborandi Jarrinha Aristolochia cymbifera Jatoba Hymenaea courbaril Jequerity Abrus precatorius Jergon Sacha Dracontium loretense Juazeiro Zizyphus joazeiro Jurubeba Solanum paniculatum Kalanchoe Kalanchoe pinnata Maca Lepidium meyenii Macela Achyrocline satureoides Manaca Brunfelsia uniflorus Mango Mangifera indica Maracuja Passiflora incarnata Matico Piper aduncum Mimosa Mimosa pudica Mucura Petiveria alliacea Muira puama Ptychopetalum olacoides Mulateiro Calycophyllum spruceanum Mullaca Physalis angulata Mulungu Erythrina mulungu Murure Brosimum acutifolium Mutamba Guazuma ulmifolia Nettles Urtica dioica Papaya Carica papaya Passionflower Passiflora incarnata Passion Fruit Passiflora incarnata Pata de Vaca Bauhinia forticata Pau d'Arco Tabebuia impetiginosa Pedra Hume Caa Myrcia salicifolia Peppermint Mentha piperita Periwinkle Vinca minor Picao Preto Bidens pilosa Picho Huayo Siparuna guianensis Piri-piri Cyperus articulatus Puca Panga Arrabidaea chica Quassia Quassia amara Quebra Pedra Phyllanthus niruri Quillaja Quillaja saponaria Quinine Bark Cinchona officinalis Remo Caspi Aspidosperma excelsum Rhatany Krameria triandra Rosewood Aniba canelilla, rosaeodora Rubber Tree Hevea brasiliensis Samambaia Polypodium decumanum Sangre de Grado Croton lechieri Sarsaparilla Smilax officinalis Scarlet Bush Hamelia patens Shell-Flower Alpinia zerumbet Simarouba Simarouba amara Stevia Stevia rebaudiana Suma Pfaffia paniculata Tamamuri Brosimum acutifolium Tayuya Cayaponia tayuya Tiririca Cyperus rotundus Tonka Bean Dipteryx odorata Turmeric Curcuma longa Ubos Spondias mombin Una de gato Uncaria tomentosa Vassourinha Scoparia dulcis Velvet Bean Mucuna pruriens Yacon Smallanthus sonchifolius Yerba Mate Ilex paraguayiensis Zanga Tempo Anthurium crassinervium Other Plants Alfalfa- Medicago sativa Anise- Pimpinella anisum Aquilaria- Aquilaria agallocha Atractylodes- Atractylodes lancea Chamomile- Matricaria chamomilla Costus Root -

Cupuacu fruit has been a primary food source in the Rainforest for both indigenous tribes and animals alike. The Cupuacu fruit is about the size of a cantaloupe and is highly prized for its creamy exotic tasting pulp. The pulp occupies approximately one-third of the fruit and is used throughout Brazil and Peru to make fresh juice, ice cream, jam and tarts. The fruit ripens in the rainy months from January to April and is considered a culinary delicacy in South American cities where demand outstrips supply. Like chocolate, the fruit has a large center seed pod filled with "beans", which the Tikuna tribe utilize for abdominal pains. Cupuacu is found throughout the Rainforest regions with it seeds being dispersed by birds and monkeys which feast on the tasty fruit pulp. Indigenous tribes as well as local communities along the Amazon have cultivated Cupuacu as a primary food source for generations. In remote times, Cupuacu seeds were traded along the Rio Negro and Upper Orinoco rivers where river tribes drink Cupuacu juice after it has been blessed by a shaman to facilitate difficult births.
