Among his principal 86 attributes are lettuce and a pronounced ithyphallic aspect. According to religious beli efs, Min's ithyphallic aspect was a direct result of his ingesting lettuce. Such an association appears strange, considering that lettuce is generaUy known as a plant with anaphrodisiac qualities. This difference would seem to have been mainly regional. Lettuce is considered aphrodisiac in Egypt and anaphrodisiac in Eu rope. Recently, one of our group, in considering this surprising quality and in some ways contradicting the association betwee n lettuce and Min 's ithyphallic quality, noted that, "Other doubts arose regarding which species of lettuce - whether it was cultivated or wild - were represented together with Min or among the offerings on the ceremonial tables.

The hemicryptophytes dominate among the life forms with vascular plants 53.32%. The biological types are represented mainly by perennial herbaceous plants (59.57%). In the flora of the Mountain there are 49 floristic elements. The most of the species are European-Asiatic floristic elements (14.54%), followed by European-Mediterranean floristic elements (13.78%) and subMediterranean floristic elements (13.52%). Among the vascular plants, there are 26 Balkan endemic species, 4 Bulgarian endemic species and 26 relic species. The species with protection statute are 66 species. The anthropophytes among the vascular plants are 390 species (49.74%).

Introduction:- Tarnovski Heights are located in the central part of Northern Bulgaria between the rivers Vesselina and Negovanka. At the Tarnovski Heights we take the Prisovski Ridge, situated beside them. The two geographic sites are included in one protected area of the National Ecological Network of the Republic of Bulgaria, called Tarnovo Heights (with code BG0000213). This gives us reason to consider them together under the name “Tarnovski Heights”.

They always supported me, were interested in what I did and helped me with anything for which I needed help. • W.L., my brother and personal assistant who had to run all my errands and helped me wherever he could. He did it (but at a price!). • Jimmy, my Yorkie, who was satisfied to lie on the table next to the computer every night (and still loves me...) • Prof. M.R. Dircksen, my supervisor who never lost courage, only wanted the best from me and led me to ideas that I could not have thought of. • Prof. J. Scarborough for all his trouble, coming to South Africa twice to supervise the study with so much patience and served me with large amounts of knowledge and insight. • Prof. S. van Dyk, who supervised the pharmacology in each chapter and the chapter on South African medicinal plants. • My friends, who did not get upset with me when I could not visit.
