Medicinal Plants of Tropical and Subtropical Regions (Classic Reprint)

By Arthur Frederick Sievers

Excerpt from Medicinal Plants of Tropical and Subtropical Regions

The species included in this discussion are largely limited to those native in or adapted to tropical and subtropical regions, but several with a wider range of adaptation are also included on account of their economic significance. As the title suggests the primary consideration is their use in medicine, although many of those included also find important application in industry.

Published information on many of these plants with respect to the conditions under which they grow, how they are cultivated, and how the products obtained from them are gathered is incomplete, contradictory, or lacking. To those who wish to investigate the possibilities of growing them in other parts of the world a summary of the essential information concerning them is helpful and greatly needed. This pam phlet was prepared as a summary and ready reference to serve that purpose. It does not purport to give all of the information that it is necessary or desirable to have in estimating the commercial possibilities of a species in a region in which it does not already occur or has not previously been grown. However, it will enable those interested to determine with reasonable certainty if such a species is likely to be sufficiently well adapted to warrant its introduction and trial and whether the pre vailing economic conditions would make a commercial development possible.
