I've also noticed that both underutilized, word-of-mouth plants and romanticized heirlooms actually leave clues to terrain, which lead to interesting hypotheses. A recent interview with a local about a lost local aromatic plant revealed thorny and non-thorny varieties, whosee distribution I suspect correspond to a popular cattle route because of response to disturbance. Accounts of more leathery leaves may also reveal adaptation lost streams and rivers, which were never mapped. Now, with this whole place paved over, I'm not sure if this quest of mine still matters, but, having led to finding the only remaining hidden rice field (with a water buffalo, to boot) in this city, it is certainly interesting to myself. Here in the tropical periurban jungle, where many things were never named or never written on a piece of paper, and the terrain itself is bursting with diversity and changing all the time, I wish to dream tonight of some kind of basis for this kind of tour.

Vegetable tourism on the other hand brings back a sense of uniqueness to travel. I love it.
