Although many texts describe plants from China, the focus of this book is to draw on the rich culture and environment of medicinal plants and fungi/mushrooms of Yunnan Province. In fact, Yunnan Province covers two global hotspots of biodiversity, with the richest biological and cultural diversity in China. In particular, the Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (founded in 1938 and located in the capital city of Yunnan Province) has made great contributions in the fields of botany and phytochemistry, earning an international reputation. This book covers those medicinal plants and fungi/mushrooms specific to Yunnan Province, and is written mainly by KIB experts in this research field.
Key Features:
Distinct sections cover the breadth of the topic including resource availability (wildly grown or cultivated), sustainability, and distribution
Discusses plant parts used for medicinal uses (the folklore, the ancient and modern uses)
Describes the important natural products and the known pharmacologically active components
Presents biological activities related to medicinal uses or clinical evidence
