Providing a user-friendly broad base of information, Medicinal Plants: Culture, Utilization and Phytopharmacology gathers valuable data from a wide variety of sources and supplies it to the user in convenient table format arranged alphabetically by scientific name, followed by the common name. Covering more than 400 plant species, topics include: major constituents (active ingredients) and medicinal values of plants; toxicity or hazardous components; essential oils; value-added products and possible uses; cultivation and harvesting; and diseases and insects found in medicinal plants. Three appendices provide handy cross-references to the tables.
