Why are Guarumo Buds not Listed as “Edible” within Lists of Edible Plants of the Maya?

I have been curious about how to figure out which Cecropia tree is masculine and which is feminine, so I have been photographing Cecropia trees in many areas of Guatemala long before our flora and fauna research project for PNYNN.

Description


There are millions of trees from two Cecropia species in Guatemala. I especially see them all over Alta Verapaz, Izabal, and Petén. I had assumed they were Cecropia peltata but as I accomplish more library research I have learned that there are two species in the Maya Lowlands (Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Belize and much of Guatemala). The other species is Cecropia obtusifolia.
