Medicinal Plants in Folk Tradition: An Ethnobotany of Britain & Ireland

The history of these plants' usages has been mined from rich firsthand accounts captured by surveys, from more than 1000 manuscript volumes of the Irish Folklore Commission, and from close to 300 other published and unpublished sources.
