About the book
One of the oldest and best reference books for hundreds of botanical herbs and their uses. The book uses common plant names in Old English dialect instead of scientific nomenclature, so it is a little hard to understand if you are not familiar with it.
Subjects: Plants, Botany, Medical Botany, Folklore, Medicinal plants, Utilization
