Medicinal Plant excerpts VOLUME I Ophioglossaceae to Polygonaceae
Nathaniel Lord Britton was the first director-in-chief of The New York Botanical Garden and a giant of a taxonomist. From 1896 to 1898 he published the three-volume landmark floristic study An Illustrated Flora of the Northern United States and Canada (Brown financed it), and revised it again in 1913. This book contains 149 individual plant files, each with illustration, taxonomy, distribution and current botanical name.

Botany is the scientific study of plants and plant-like organisms. It helps us understand why plants are so vitally important to the world. There were two main ideas author attempted to embed here are : one was to put as much plant-related information as possible into an evolutionary context, and the other was to explain complicated problems with simple words and metaphors.

This book is the result of several years 1 experience of the authors with the Intermediate classes. A lot of time is usually wasted in giving instructions and notes to the students as to the procedure of the day's work. The authors feel that this humble attempt at systematizing the practical work of Intermediate classes, will go a long way to remove this difficulty.

Elements of Structural and Systematic Botany
This structural work has been supplemented by so much classification as will serve to make clear the relationships of different groups, and the principles upon which the classification is based, as well as enable the student to recognize the commoner types of the different groups as they are met with. The aim of this book is not, however, merely the identification of plants.

Desert Plants and People (PDF 105P)
No one knows when herbs of medicinal value were first used and few care to even venture a guess. In all probability, certain unknown early plants which produced a feeling of well-being were recognized and ingested regularly by the primates who preceded man. After the emergence of man, in the early dawn of time, there followed thousands of centuries of gastronomical experimentation by this strange, upright being, during which time he learned to select from available foods those which were best suited for his system
