Now there's something I dabbled a little in for the Saalangal. I'll often draw plants that dont exist, for instance, a plant that looks a lot like a cross between the leaves of Pachira aquatica (Guyana chestnut), and the flowers of Zantedeschia aethiopica (Calla Lily). One was also a new species of palm that was more like the crown shaft type palms in habit, but the fruits were more like those of a Butia capitata (Pindo Palm), or Date palm (it was also a major staple on the island).I had thought a bit about doing something similar to a conlang manuscript about conbotany, but i never went through with it fully. ____________________________ Yours truly, Cesar Javier Jaime Garcia
