Available for Free in PDF format at WHO's web site.,
This review is from: WHO Monographs on Selected Medicinal Plants: Volume 2 (Paperback)
This book is available for free at WHO's web site as a PDF file download. Simply enter << Who Monographs on Selected Medicinal Plants >> in Google and you will see the download. Each volume out of two volumes total contain very extensive coverage of about thirty plants per volume. Covers synonyms, common names, appearance, purity tests, pharmacology, adverse reactions, chemical constituents, clinical studies, uses listed in pharmacopias, folk usage, dosage, posology and extensive references. A very useful resource. Only wish more plants were covered. The folk and traditional pharmacopia usages are a bit weak, but the scientific research on each herb is well covered. Can't beat the price.
