Abstract
This short article describes some of the uses made by the Western Apache of plant resources. Most of the attention is devoted to plants used for food, drink, medicine, and in some of their material items. The second half of the article provides an alphabetic listing (far from exhaustive) by scientific nomenclature of the plants and their uses.
