Aimed at the general reader, this book attempts to document, as much as possible, the useful plant material from Ghana. The plants are divided by use into subjects such as food, fuel, potions and medicines, poisons, dyes, construction and weeds. They are listed by their scientific and Ghanian vernacular names as well as by their English names, if available. Industrial crops and plants of farms and gardens are included, but many of their uses are of local occurence.
