Conclusion
In conclusion, I must again affirm the fact that future investigations and future discoveries will undoubtedly increase appreciably the list of plant-motifs which were employed by the ancient Peruvians. The list which I have tried to identify and describe in the present article is limited, but it may present some information of interest to specialists in botany, ethnology and archaeology.
