About this book
Addresses the geographic fragmentation of and confusion in the poisonous plant literature. It provides an international, authoritative, and comprehensive reference for toxicologists needing information on the human and animal toxicity of plants. Using accepted botanic names, it defines the set of toxic vascular plants of the world, thereby satisfying the need for an international standard of identity. Synonyms and common names are cross referenced with the botanic names for easy reference.
