Tuts publication consists of original coloured illustrations, natural size, 
with accompanying descriptive text, of the plants which yield the drugs 
in common use. In making a selection from the very large number of 
Species reputed to be of medicinal value, the British Pharmacopeia 
has been taken as a foundation, all the plants contained in it being 
figured. “To these have been added a large number of others which, 
although not official here, are included in the United States Pharma- 
copia or in the Pharmacopeia of India. This work thus serves 
especially as an illustrated Botanical Guide to the British, United 
States, and Indian Pharmacoperias, but it also includes other species 
employed in different parts of Europe, or in common use, though not 
official, in this country. Some others which afford food substances, of 
value chiefly to invalids, and a few of our most poisonous indigenous 
plants have also been added.
