Subject: Edible Plants, Medicinal Plants, Useful Plants

Comments: From Books in Print Hodgson, a research botanist and herbarium curator at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona, presents a guide to some 540 edible plants used by people of more than 50 traditional cultures of the Sonoran Desert and adjacent areas. Entries are essentially organized by family. Plants are not physically described. Each species entry lists recorded names and describes indigenous uses, sometimes in considerable detail. In many cases, food plants also have nonfood therapeutic and commodity applications, which are also presented.
