A six-volume revision of J.M. Dalziel's 1937 encyclopaedic work, to supplement the 2nd edition of the Flora of West Tropical Africa. In volumes one to five 5260 plants are described, each with its geographical range, habitat and economic attributes. Volume 6 is an aggregation of all the indices in the previous five volumes.
This volume focuses on the family Amaranthaceae. They are annual or perennial herbs or subshrubs, rarely lianes and large and mainly tropical family of some 65 genera and over 1000 species, including many cosmopolitan weeds and a large number of xerophytic plants.

The Flora of Tropical East Africa prepared at the Royal Botanic Gardens/Kew with the assistance from the East African Herbarium. A volume looking at the considerable family of around 2000 species (three-quarters herbs and subshrubs and the rest trees and shrubs).
First published in 1986, this book describes the most important medicinal plants in tropical West Africa and similar humid tropical climates. After a short introduction about early traditional medicine, the bulk of the book gives an account of locally occurring plants, grouped by their medicinal actions. Plants that affect the cardiovascular and nervous systems are discussed, as are those with antibiotic, insecticidal and molluscicidal properties. Those which affect the hormonal systems of humans are catalogued and so are others that act as adrenal-cortex, sex and thyroid hormones. There is a full botanical index, which includes the commonly found synonyms for many of the plants and the work is illustrated by the author's own water colours. It may be of particular interest and use to pharmacists, biochemists, botanists and pharmacologists and of great value to those who exploit locally available resources in treating diseases in tropical areas.
This Elibron Classics title is a reprint of the original edition published by Hippolyte Bailliere in London, 1849. This book contains color illustrations.
