AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document

Most of the attention is devoted to plants used for food, drink, medicine, and in some of their material items. The second half of the article provides an alphabetic listing (far from exhaustive) by scientific nomenclature of the plants and their uses.
