  • From Witch Doctor to Modern Medicine: Searching the American Tropics for Potentially New Medicinal Plants
    From Witch Doctor to Modern Medicine: Searching the American Tropics for Potentially New Medicinal Plants "And as there are discouvered new Regions, new King- doms and new Provinces by our Spaniards, so they have brought unto us new Medicines, and newe Remedies, wherewith they do cure many infirmities, which, if we did lacke them, would be incurible, and without any remedie ... for which cause I did pretend to treate, and to write of all things that they bring from our Indias, apperteyning to the Arte and Use of Medicine, and the remedie of hurtes and diseases that we doo suffer and endure ...". Nicholas Monardes [transl. John Frampton] "Joyfull Newes out of the New-found World" (1596) The search for potential new medicines from the Plant King- dom is not new. It has been carried on since man first became aware ot the variety ot ettects that plants had on his mind and body. It is still under way. But we now have many ad- vantages over man in all prior ages. We have millennia of experience behind us; a deeper understanding of what plants are and how they live; an intensity of modern technology to help us; and, what is more important than all of the other advantages, a determination to probe into the still virgin vegetal world for active compounds of promise for man’s existence. Today we follow several discreet paths in our search for "new" medicinal plants. Some modern programs - ambitious, technologically com- plex and potentially promising - have emphasized the random or semi-random screening of plants from all parts of the world for new organic compounds.

    PLANTS OF PEEBLESSHIRE (Vice-county 78) A CHECKLIST OF FLOWERING PLANTS AND FERNS David J McCosh 2012 Cover photograph: Sedum villosum, FJ Roberts Cover design: L Cranmer Copyright DJ McCosh Privately published DJ McCosh Holt Norfolk 2012 2 Neidpath Castle Its rocks and grassland are home to scarce plants 3 4 Contents Introduction 1 History of Plant Recording 1 Geographical Scope and Physical Features 2 Characteristics of the Flora 3 Sources referred to 5 Conventions, Initials and Abbreviations 6 Plant List 9 Index of Genera 101 5 Peeblesshire (v-c 78), showing main geographical features 6 Introduction This book summarises current knowledge about the distribution of wild flowers in Peeblesshire. It is largely the fruit of many pleasant hours of botanising by the author and a few others and as such reflects their particular interests. History of Plant Recording Peeblesshire is thinly populated and has had few resident botanists to record its flora. Also its upland terrain held little in the way of dramatic features or geology to attract outside botanists. Consequently the first list of the county’s flora with any pretension to completeness only became available in 1925 with the publication of the History of Peeblesshire (Eds, JW Buchan and H Paton). For this FRS Balfour and AB Jackson provided a chapter on the county’s flora which included a list of all the species known to occur. The first records were made by Dr A Pennecuik in 1715. He gave localities for 30 species and listed 8 others, most of which are still to be found. Thereafter for some 140 years the only evidence of interest is a few specimens in the national herbaria and scattered records in Lightfoot (1778), Watson (1837) and The New Statistical Account (1834-45).

    Plant Hunters’ Fairs 2020 Newsletter “It’s all about plants and gardens” Abbeywood Gardens in August “It’s all about plants and gardens” Welcome to our 2020 newsletter. A new decade with new challenges for gardeners, gardens and nurseryfolk. But as always, we will win through and look back on another year when our shared passion for plants has brought us together, helped us through the sticky spots and given us so much joy. It’s now 13 years since the fateful day we decided to ring our local garden, Dorothy Clive, and see if they fancied the idea of a plant fair. We can’t believe how it has snowballed from there with the help and support of you, our gardening friends, our nursery colleagues and our host gardens. If one sentence could sum up the ethos we created then, it would be “it’s all about plants and gardens.” And that still runs through everything we do today. Our 2020 newsletter hopefully lives up to that promise! Please enjoy and share with your gardening friends.
