This book discusses the topic of naturally occurring phorbol esters. Chapters include; environmental hazards of diterpene esters from plants, multi-stage carcinogenesis and the biological effects of tumor promoters, review of the family euphorbiaceae, biosynthetic and chemosystematic aspects of the euphorbiacea and thymelaeaceae, non-diterpenoid constituents of euphorbiacea, macrocyclic diterpenes of the family euphorbiacea, phorbol: its esters and derivatives, the daphnane polyol esters, the ingenane polyol esters, and the biochemical mechanism of action of phorbol ester.

Written as a reference to be used within University, Departmental, Public, Institutional, Herbaria, and Arboreta libraries, this book provides the first starting point for better access to data on medicinal and poisonous plants. Following on the success of the author's CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names and the CRC World Dictionary of Grasses, the author provides the names of thousands of genera and species of economically important plants. It serves as an indispensable time-saving guide for all those involved with plants in medicine, food, and cultural practices as it draws on a tremendous range of primary and secondary sources. This authoritative lexicon is much more than a dictionary. It includes historical and linguistic information on botany and medicine throughout each volume.
Baccaurea is, in numbers, one of the most common undergrowth trees in the Malesian lowland forests. It is an ecologically and economically important genus, because of its edible fruits, timber, and medicinal usage. Distichirhops and Nothobaccaurea are new to science, and both are allied to Baccaurea. A comprehensive revision is presented for all three genera, with full taxonomic descriptions and distribution maps for all species, and analytical drawings or full colour pictures for most of the 48 species treated. General and regional identification keys are given. A phylogenetic hypothesis based on macromorphological and leaf-anatomical characters is presented for Baccaurea and Nothobaccaurea, as well as the character evolution within these genera. To reveal hidden internal branch support, a new method, called Iterative Taxon Reduction, is used. The biogeographic analyses, based on six different methods, led to a general dispersal/vicariance scenario for Baccaurea and allied genera, in which an old Gondwanan distribution pattern is shown, followed by different routes into Southeast Asia.
