Synopsis This is the second in the series of six volumes on the treatise on Indian medicinal plants. It incorporates one hundred and twenty species of dicotyledonous flowering plants. By and large, the features and the pattern presented in the earlier volume has been maintained. In addition, attempts have been made to specify the parts from which the important chemical constituents have been isolated. As in the previous volume, each plant is illustrated either with photograph or line sketch. To make the volume self-contained, the basic concepts, glossaries of the various terms used and the books referred to have been repeated with appropriate revision along with the list of plant species dealt with in volume 1.
