Each page is made from a different plant: plantain, sunflower, basil, onion, sugarcane, corn, garlic, parsley, rosemary, and tobacco. Each page is also printed letterpress, identifying the plant with local and scientific names, associated deities, spiritual powers, and then a long description of its medicinal properties and local uses. Some pages also feature collagraphs by José Emilio Leyva Azze.
