The Botanical Lexicon of Latin Vegetable Materia Medica - A dictionary of nomenclature, taxonomy, and morphology of historical medicinal herbal materials. Part I - A

This dictionary reveals botanical information which stands behind the Latin nomenclature and Latin terminology of historical vegetable materia medica. Materia medica is a traditional name of both the plant-derived materials of any medicinal value, and the knowledge of them which evolved into pharmacognosy. The data were excerpted from scientific pharmaceutical sources published in Europe, North America (or other parts of the world but written by Europeans and Americans or by scientists educated therein) generally between 1700 and 1950.
