Kew botanists have studied African plants for two centuries, and
are now co-operating with Practical Action Publishing to produce
this book which will be a constant source of interest and reference
internationally. The book, while of great interest to specialists,
is aimed at the average reader. The plants are divided into
subjects such as food, fuel, medicines and weeds, and are listed by
their scientific and Ghanaian vernacular names, and by their
English ones if available. In an age of rapid change when
environmental issues have assumed significant popular and political
standing, it is important to document as much as possible and make
it available to a wide public. While industrial crops and plants of
farms and gardens are included, many of the uses are of local
occurrence and minor importance but of great interest to the
ethnobotanist and biochemist searching for little known remedies
for further research. A selection of colour photographs of plants
and plant products has also been included, made possible by a grant
from the Quaker Trust.
