Puya (plant)
''Puya'' is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae. It is the sole genus of the subfamily Puyoideae, and is composed of 226 species. These terrestrial plants are native to the Andes Mountains of South America and southern Central America. Many of the species are monocarpic, with the parent plant dying after one flower and seed production event. The species ''Puya raimondii'' is notable as the largest species of bromeliad known, reaching 3 m tall in vegetative growth with a flower spike 9–10 m tall. The other species are also large, with the flower spikes mostly reaching 1–4 m tall. The name ''Puya'' was derived from the Mapuche Indian word meaning "point". The genus is commonly divided into two subgenera, ''Puya'', containing eight species, and ''Puyopsis'' containing the remainder. The subgenera can be distinguished by the presence of a sterile inflorescence at the branch apex in ''Puya'', which are fertile in ''Puyopsis''. Species Cultivation and ...

Guajillo Chili
A guajillo chili or guajillo chile or chile guaco ( es, chile guajillo) is the dried form of the mirasol chili, a landrace variety of chile pepper of the species ''Capsicum annuum.'' Guajillos are the second-most commonly used dried chili in Mexican cuisine after anchos, the dried form of poblano chilies. The Mexican state of Zacatecas is one of the main producers of guajillo chilies. There are two main varieties that are distinguished by their size and heat factors. The guajillo ''puya'' is the smaller and hotter of the two ( es, puyar, label=none, in Spanish, is to prick or poke). In contrast, the longer and wider ''guajillo'' has a more pronounced, richer flavor and is somewhat less spicy. With a rating of 2,500 to 5,000 on the Scoville scale, its heat is considered mild to medium. Guajillo chilies have many applications and are used in a variety of Mexican preparations. For instance, they are sometimes used to make salsa for tamales; the dried fruits are seeded, soaked or sim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Puya (Meitei Texts)
The Puyas ( mni, ꯄꯨꯌꯥ) are archaic Meitei language manuscripts. They encompass a wide spectrum of themes including genealogy, literature, history, royalties, administration, creation and cosmology, philosophy, poetry, religious beliefs, etc. Saroj Parratt noted in 2005 that none of these Puyas were yet dated by professional historians or subject to serious textual-critical scrutiny. Consequently, she criticized the tendency of local authors to treat Puyas as reliable sources in their reconstruction of Manipuri history. Scholars have noted that Puyas had been forged by Meitei nationalists to support their reinvention of history and tradition.

Culoepuya
The ''culo'e puya'' drums, also known as ''culoepuya'', ''culo e puya'', or ''culepuya'', are a battery of small drums originally from Venezuela, with a Kongo lineage. They are used in an ensemble also known as ''redondo'' drums, after the dance motion and the circle which forms around the dancers during performance. Organology The ''culo'e puya'' battery comprises three drums made of lightweight wood from the tree known locally as ''lano'' or ''ceiba de lana'' (''Ceiba pentandra'', a member of the Bombacaceae family, to which Balsa also belongs). Both ends have skin heads, which are joined with tensors made of rope (nylon rope is commonly used today). The drums are roughly 1.5 m (4 ft.) in length and between 10 and 15 cm (4-6 inches) in diameter. The inside of the drum is carved in the shape of an hourglass, instead of a cylinder. There are three different diameters, each corresponding to a distinct "voice" or pattern. The different diameters are known as: *Pri ...
