Trease & Evans Pharmacognosy

Trease and Evans' Pharmacognosy is acknowledged as the standard student text and reference for the study of medicinal plants and drugs of animal origin. While the text has been thoroughly updated for the new edition to cover recent developments in the field, a balance between the necessary classical aspects of pharmacognosy and areas of more topical interest has been maintained. The organisation of chapters allows a multi-disciplinary approach to the subject, and the text is comprehensively referenced to the recent literature.
