Peterson
The best-selling field guides of all time
Medicinal plants are increasingly well regarded as supplements and
sometimes as alternatives for prescription drugs. Steven Foster and
James A. Duke have used recent advances in the study of medicinal plants
and their combined experience of over 100 years to completely update the
Peterson Field Guide to Medicinal Plants. The clear and concise text
identifies the key traits, habitats, uses, and warnings for more than
530 of the most significant medicinal plants in the eastern and central
United States and Canada including both native and alien species. Seven
hundred plus images, the organization-by-color system, and simplified
warnings make identifying medicinal plants fast and easy.
