The Philippine medicinal plant entrees now number over 1000. There three separate listing of medicinal plants: a Tagalog list, an English list for those plants with English designations, and a Chinese list, for the medicinal plants with Chinese names. English names are included in the Tagalog lists for plants that have not acquired local names. |
Ornamental and Medicinal The compilation includes many ornamental plants, weeds and shrubs with no known folkloric medicinal use in the Philippines, but which on web-search and research reveal indigenous medicinal use in other countries and/or scientific investigations. Thus, because of the surprising wealth of information I stumble upon, I have started to include medicinal plant entrees without graphics. The use of public domain images and images through Creative Commons and GNUF License have enormously helped provide visual elements to what would otherwise be bland pages of text. |
