Endorsements
While this book will be valuable for researchers working in botany, ecology, medicine and pharmacology, it will also be highly attractive to a broad general public and particularly to naturalists both within and outside India. There is a pleasing mixture of detailed botanical description with more general consideration of the plant, its habitat and uses. Dr Parrotta should be congratulated on this significant contribution to the scientific literature about the species covered and this major addition to the arguments for the wise conservation and use of our natural resources. Professor J. Burley, President, International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO) "In this timely book, Dr John Parrotta has brought together valuable information on the medicinal plant species of peninsular India, used in the indigenous systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha. He has compiled information on 545 species of plants used in traditional medical practices, based on the best available published data. The information, coupled with photographs, is user friendly and will help to promote widespread interest and understanding of these unique gifts of nature". M.S. Swaminathan, UNESCO Chair in Ecotechnology, Chennai, India "Overall, this book is an impressive compliation of information on Indian medicinal plants." Southern African Society for Horticultural Sciences, June 2002
