    Was wondering how one would go about learning and remembering different species in a family. Looking forward to using this framework for the 3 families I chose. Was also good to learn that even if 2 plants belong to the same family, does not mean you can use them interchangeably.

    This is such a great example of framework – one which we can use to pattern our very own compilation!

    oh, I see; I should have another section in my Materia Medica for the plant family studies.

    That was a very in-depth page; I see the benefits of having these on the plant families I use the most.

    I think what the article does highlight, is that if you are a herbalist, you are also a conservationist.

    Fascinating and strange. Administered to humans but harmful to humans.

    It appears that there are multiple uses among the Zulu people.

    Being from North America, I’m not completely understanding some of the words.

    Very interesting that this plant is used for medicinal and magical. The fact that it is used against bad dreams due to a weak heart, and that it is very poisonous and causes temporary insanity is a contradiction in itself. Thank you for sharing this interesting flower.

    I see some things on a “blue list” and some on a “red list”. What does that mean?

    Very interesting. Where it says “chest troubles could be caused by evil charms or poison” this opens up a whole new thought pattern.
