India is one of the countries with the longest and richest past, present, and future of medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) production and utilization. More than enough knowledge has been accumulated to fill two volumes. This is shown by the vivid interest of Indian colleagues to contribute.

Scientific and technological achievements are equally presented.
