Figure GU0. Proportional Euler diagrams of plants and usage shared among superdistricts Rainer: relatively high stress here means that the overlap is doing a poor job of representing the actual similarities. Is there any possibility of joining these communities into districts, as we did before?
Figure GU1. Informants from the Guria region ordered by their distance in plants reported (A,B,C) and in uses reported (D,E,F).
Figure GU2. Informants from the Guria region ordered by their distance in plants reported (A,B,C) and in uses reported (D,E,F). Informants (see Table GU1), are more differentiated by plant species reported (A, informants shown but plant species hidden for visual clarity) than by use reported (D, informants and uses shown). Elevation of informant community significantly fits the ordination in plantspace (B, r\(^2\) = 0.56, p = 0.001) and in usespace (E, r\(^2\) = 0.214, p = 0.041). Community significantly fits the ordination for plantspace only (C, r\(^2\) = 0.435, p = 0.021) while gender significantly fits the ordination for usespace only (F, r\(^2\) = 0.315, p = 0.001).
To sum up: for Guria, geographic differences are more important in defining which plants people report to using, while gender plays an important part in defining HOW they use plants.

Figure RA0. Proportional Euler diagrams of plants and usage shared among superdistricts Rainer: Racha also has fairly high stress, possibility of joining communities into districts?
Figure RA1. Informants from the Racha region ordered by their distance in plants reported (A,B,C) and in uses reported (D,E,F).
Figure RA2. Informants from the Racha region ordered by their distance in plants reported (A,B,C) and in uses reported (D,E,F). Informants (see Table RA1), are strongly clustered by community in terms of plant species reported (A). This is not true in use reported (D, informants and uses shown). Presumably becuase of the community effect (C, r\(^2\) = 1, p = 0.001), elevation of informant community also significantly fits the ordination in plantspace (B, r\(^2\) = 0.661, p = 0.012) but not in usespace (E, r\(^2\) = 0.106, p = 0.618). Gender and age were not significant.
To sum up: for Racha, divergent plants reported drive big differences among communities. This is not the case for uses.

Figure G2. Informants from all Georgia regions ordered by their distance in plants reported (A,B,C) and in uses reported (D,E,F). Informants, numbered according to Table G1, in plant-space (A) and use-space (D). Elevation of informant community significantly fits the ordination in plantspace (B, r\(^2\) = 0.461, p = 0.001) and in usespace (E, r\(^2\) = 0.072, p = 0.003). Region significantly fits the ordination for both plantspace (C, r\(^2\) = 0.49, p = 0.001) and usespace (F, r\(^2\) = 0.357, p = 0.001).
Note: The variable age is dropped out so that we don’t lose a big chunk of Svaneti-Racha informants (but if we included it, it comes out as non-significant); and the variable gender (not shown) is not significant in plantspace (p = 0.112, r\(^2\) = 0.011) but does come as significant (but only explaining 2% of variation) in usespace (p = 0.01, r\(^2\) = 0.023)
To sum up As expected, Guria is somewhat more divergent in plant and use space, and this could be explained by elevation. In addition, there is some overlap between Svaneti-Rahca (2015) data and the new Racha data.

Figure RLG2. Informants from Racha (RA), Racha-Lechkumi (RL) and Guria (GU) ordered by their distance in plants reported (A,B,C) and in uses reported (D,E,F). Informants, numbered according to Table RLG1, in plant-space (A) and use-space (D). Elevation of informant community significantly fits the ordination in plantspace (B, r\(^2\) = 0.341, p = 0.001) and in usespace (E, r\(^2\) = 0.15, p = 0.013). Region significantly fits the ordination for both plantspace (C, r\(^2\) = 0.545, p = 0.001) and usespace (F, r\(^2\) = 0.293, p = 0.001).
Note: The variable age is dropped out so that we don’t lose several Racha-Lechkumi informants (but if we included it, it comes out as non-significant); and the variable gender (not shown) is not significant in plantspace (p = 0.175, r\(^2\) = 0.029) but does come as significant (but only explaining 8% of variation) in usespace (p = 0.013, r\(^2\) = 0.077)
To sum up Plants and uses reported from Racha-Lechkumi are very similar to one another, in comparison with much more in Guria and Racha. For uses, Guria and Racha acutally have more overlap than Racha and Racha-Lechkumi. This is explained by relatively few use categories (construction, food, medicinal, utensils) reported from Racha Lechkumi (see Figure RLG4), and more from Racha and Guria. Part of this could be do to methodological differences that could be addressed with some data cleaning (eg. Racha and Guria both have a “no use” category that Racha Lechkumi does not), but other differences (especially the existence of animal related categories ‘animal food’ and ‘veterinary’ in Racha and Guria) seem to be real similarities.
