Abstract
The new edition of this textbook has been revised to include more information on general botany without the reduction of material on pharmaceutical botany. A new chapter on metabolism has been added. The opening chapters are concerned with the morphology of the vegetative structures, followed by the chapter on metabolism and then three chapters on the morphology of the reproductive structures of plants. There are single chapters on plant environment, plant anatomy, and genetics and evolution. A chapter on taxonomic principles introduces several chapters devoted to discussion of plant classes. Throughout the text, tables are included indicating the drugs occurring in different plant families, the genus and species names from which the drugs are obtained, the parts of the plant which yield the drugs, and the habitat of the plants. In the chapters on monocotyledons and dicotyledons, only the drug-bearing plants are discussed. Appendix 1 is a 10 page discussion
