Common Medicinal Plants of Portland, Jamaica has been designed as a
field guide for the identification of some of the most common
medicinal plants encountered in Jamaica. It is based on the
traditional knowledge of collaborating Maroon herbalists who have
been cultural practitioners for more than 25 years. This guide
includes photos and illustrations of 47 common species along with
plant descriptions, medicinal uses and other pertinent information.
Most of the plants are widespread species that may be found
throughout many parts of the tropics, so this book ia useful
throughout the Caribbean region and other tropical landscapes. It
is hoped that this research can serve as a foundation for further
documentation and preservation of Maroon traditional botanical
knowledge. Proceeds from the sale of this publication will go
directly to the collaborating herbalists to assist them in the
perpetuation of the traditional cultural practices of the Windward
Maroons. Visit www.maroonmedicine.com
