Botany of "Waiting for the Moment"


Carila Papaya- Actual Name Carica Papaya. It is exactly what you think, it is a papaya plant! This plant originated in Central America and The Gulf of Guinea , and was not introduced to other parts of the world until the "Triangle Trade" when seeds were taken over to the new world and beyond. NOW it actually grows in tropical places all over the world because of it. But it would be in the Tarzan area, but it targets exactly where. Here is a map! Make sure to look for Pre-Pre and not after 1900!
Bixa Orellana- Also originated in Central America, also called the Annato tree. are the source of annatto dye, which contains the soluble reddish-orange carotenoid pigment known as bixin, one of the most widely used natural colorants in the world (second only to saffron in economic importance). Annatto has major uses in the food and cosmetics industries and annual world consumption exceeds 10,000 metric tons. Here is a map where they are located
