 Review from Economic Botany, June 22, 2015

...Taken as a whole, Medicinal Plants in Australia is a lovely work full of thoroughly researched detail. While the subject matter is certainly specific to Australia, this collection would be pleasurable and informative for anyone curious about the history of the use of plants by humans and the science that underpins those uses. The collection stands as an expert narrative course in the economic botany and ethnopharmacology of Australia - past, present, and future...... John de la Parra Economic Botany 201468:9292
