The Ethnobotany of the California Indians is a compilation of 1,100 plants listed in alphabetic order by the scientific name. For each listing, depending upon the available literature, are sub-headings that note by tribe, how the plant was utilized: Food; Material; Medicine; and Miscellaneous. In addition, if available, there are sections listing the native terminology as well as Notes covering such things as food value, hazardous properties, etc. For each section there is a list of publications cited. In addition there is a Reference section and four appendices: Tribal Listing by Plant; Ornithography; Synonyms (of plants); and a Glossary.
