By some co-incidence, MIguel Braganza handed over to me yesterday copies of some very interesting and locally-relevant low-priced book(let)s dealing with plants and trees of the region. Unfortunately, like all Goa publications, these might be hard to locate/purchase by those who need them:
* Britto Book of Plants. PTA of St Britto High School, 1995 Rs 25. * Growing Vegetables. Green Heritage. Miguel Braganza, Francis Borges, Sheela Kumar eds. Published by Green Heritage, Fields View, Portavaddo, Siolim, Bardez Goa 403517. Rs 20. * All you wanted to know about coconut but did not know where to find out!! Green Heritage Eco Club, St Francis Xavier High School, Siolim, Goa. * A little about Kokum: Garcinia Indica. Miguel Braganza & Rena Fernandes, eds. Green Heritage Eco Club of SFX Siolim, affiliated to the Botanical Society of Goa. Contact our fellow Goanetter [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Miguel Braganza) if you're interested. Selling such books internationally might be difficult, maybe lulu.com or instabook.net could provide a model for easy distribution among the scattered Goan diaspora. --FN On 14/08/06, CARMO DCRUZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Jorge / Livia, > > I believe the English name for nachne is Jowar / Ragi - It is a kind of > millet - a Kharif (autumn harvest) crop in India.
