Abstract: "Extremely valuable reference work on Mexican ethnobotany. One thousand species of medicinal plants are illustrated, referenced by popular name, and classified botanically, pharmacologically, and chemically. Provides information on their history and traditional uses. Lists locations of herbarium samples. Part of proposed series on Mexican traditional medicine to be published by INI. Likely to become the definitive work for many years to come. Bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
