The unpublished moqoit ethnobotany of Martínez Crovetto I: Description, updating and analysis of the indigenous nomenclature

Raúl Martínez Crovetto (M.C.) is the begginer of the ethnobotanical researches in Argentina. Valuable and unpublished data from this author about mocoví (moqoit) indians ethnobotany recorded in the '60's in the Chaco province, were found at the Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste. The objet...
