Abstract
This is a Zulu materia medica, with brief descriptions of medicine-men and curing as well. The majority of the text is a listing of 240 Zulu medicinal plants, their botanical identification and a discussion of how and for what they are used. Two valuable tables at the back of the book list the plants first by Latin name, then by Zulu name, give a brief description of their use and refer the reader to the relevant pages.
