Abstract
Brazil’s proverbial biodiversity will attain an impact on the well-being of the population only through the knowledge of nature’s language.
The present review summarizes work aimed at modelling of the vocabulary through quantification of chemo-biological phenomena.
Application of the data leads to sharpening of the concepts involving (chiefly, but not exclusively) micromolecular ecology, systematics and evolution.
The joint appreciation of the three disciplines suggests, rather surprisingly, the neotropics to be covered by a chemically and geographically integrated web of flowering plants.
