Tunas and purslane

[David Wright]

Jonathan:

 

To get things a bit more organized, I made a list of Nahuatl plant names
that appear to contain the nominal radicals itz(tli)/i:tz(tli) and mi:(tl),
in Francisco Hernández’s botanical treatise, 1790 and 1942-1946 editions.
There may be more, but these are all I’ve found to date. I’m sending them to
you and to the list, in case anyone else needs to track these down in the
future.
