Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal Plants Vol. 12: Volume 12 Modified Stems, Roots, Bulbs

This book continues as volume 11 of a multi-compendium on Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal Plants. It covers such plants with edible℗ℓ modified storage subterranean stems (corms, rhizomes, stem tubers) and unmodified subterranean stem stolons, ℗ℓabove ground swollen stems and hypocotyls, ℗ℓstorage roots (tap root, lateral roots, ℗ℓroot tubers), and bulbs,℗ℓ that℗ℓ are eaten as conventional or functional food℗ℓ as ℗ℓvegetables and spices,℗ℓ as herbal teas, ℗ℓand may provide a source of food additive or neutraceuticals. This volume covers ℗ℓselected plant species ℗ℓwith edible modified stems, roots and bulbs in the families Iridaceae, Lamiaceae, Marantaceae, Nelumbonaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Nymphaeaceae, Orchidaceae, Oxalidaceae, Piperaceae, Poaceae, Rubiaceae and Simaroubaceae.℗ℓ The edible species dealt with in this work include wild and underutilized crops and also common and widely grown ornamentals. To help in identification of the plant and edible parts coloured illustrations are included. As in the preceding℗ℓ ten volumes, topics covered include: taxonomy (botanical name and synonyms); common English and vernacular names; origin and distribution; agro-ecological requirements; edible plant parts and uses; plant botany; nutritive, medicinal and pharmacological properties with up-to-date research findings; traditional medicinal uses; other℗ℓ non-edible uses; and selected/cited℗ℓ references for further reading. This volume has℗ℓ separate℗ℓ indices for scientific and common names; and separate scientific and medical glossaries This book continues as volume 9 of a multi-compendium on Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal Plants. It covers such plants with edible modified storage subterranean stems (corms, rhizomes, stem tubers) and unmodified subterranean stem stolons, above ground swollen stems and hypocotyls, storage roots (tap root, lateral roots, root tubers), and bulbs, that are eaten as conventional or functional food as vegetables and spices, as herbal teas, and may provide a source of food additive or nutraceuticals.

The edible species dealt with in this work include wild and underutilized crops and also common and widely grown ornamentals. To help in identification of the plant and edible parts about 120 colored illustrations are included. As in the preceding eight volumes, topics covered include: taxonomy (botanical name and synonyms); common English and vernacular names; origin and distribution; agro-ecological requirements; edible plant parts and uses; plant botany; nutritive, medicinal and pharmacological properties with up-to-date research findings; traditional medicinal uses; other non-edible uses; and selected/cited references for further reading.
