Freda Detmers. 
This list includes the uncultivated and a few of the common 
cultivated medicinal plants of Ohio. It is compiled from the 
United States Pharmacopoeia, King’s American Dispensatory 
for the Eclectic School of Medicine and the American Homeo- 
pathic Dispensatory. The individual citation follows the name 
of each plant. When the technical name given in the Dispensa- 
tory or Pharmacopoeia differs from that in Britton's Manual it is 
given as a synonym. The technical and popular name and the 
part used as a drug are given for each plant.
