This is the first botanically authoritative and practical
illustrated identification guide to Chinese medicinal plants and
drugs and their substitutes. It offers authoritative guidance on
the identification of the herbal drugs themselves, and the plants
from which they are sourced. Over the past 15 years, the authors
have been collecting plant specimens throughout China, using
verified species to create typical TCM reference drugs, prepared
according to traditional methods. The herbal drugs included in this
book are officially recognised from the Chinese materia medica (as
defined in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia) and their selection has been
based on those popular in international trade, as well as those
recognised by the European Herbal and Traditional Medicine
Practitioners Association, and those that are easily confused,
substituted or adulterated with other plants.
