Welcome to Suzanne Cook, from a fellow PBS and SSILA member.
Chiapas is a good place to find unusual plants, and I hope you will
be able to post some photos from the field on our wiki. Perhaps you
can add the indigenous names, though often one can't elicit these for
plants that aren't used.

Hi all,
I'm new to the group, coming from a linguistics background but catapulted
into botany. I joined the group to learn more about tropical plants I'm
finding in my study area: the Lacandon Rainforest in Chiapas, Mexico. The
site is lower montane Rain Forest, elev. 800-1100 meters. Some of these
plants start life as a bulb. So here I am.
