A Profile of Taiwan Herbal Botany Garden Chinese medicines are precious heritage as outcomes of studies and experiments on herbs for thousands of years. Access to the source herbs is available only to a few people, the Chinese medicines specialists, but not others. Average people only see or hear the herbs in books or orally. It is a pity that Chinese medicines and herbs remain unpopular. It is with the ideal of giving people an access to the herbs, we, Taiwan Herbal Botany Garden, first opened our herbal botany garden of Chinese medicines to the public lately. In the garden, hundreds of herbs have been cultivated or planted systematically following careful planning. Besides, in the planting area are Briefing Plates, one in each division. Reading them will bring you vital knowledge about the frequently seen herbs and their uses recommended. It is a fine addition to your daily life skills, isn't it? In addition, "Toxic Plants Area" and "Rural Survival Edible-Plants Area" will certainly be fantastic attractions to the nature fans. Operational Philosophy TaiHerbBo Garden aims at creating a garden full of natural and tranquil atmosphere and entertaining visitors with four themes - leisure, health, learning, and Spiritual Growth.

66. Flowering Plant Families, UH Botany Trees, shrubs and herbs comprising about 100 genera. http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/carr/ros.htm

Rosaceae The Rosaceae are trees, shrubs and herbs comprising about 100 genera and 3,000 species. Most species have alternate leaves and stipules. These may be adnate to the petiole. You have likely heard the saying, "a rose is a rose is a rose," suggesting that when you've seen one, you've seen them all. The family does tend to have somewhat monotonous actinomorphic flowers, commonly with 5-parted perianth and numerous stamens. However, closer inspection reveals that the gynoecium varies tremendously among different species of the family. In the subfamily Rosoideae many apocarpous pistils mature into achenes while in the Prunoideae a single monocarpellate pistil matures into a drupe. In subfamily Spiraeoideae the gynoecium consists of two or more apocarpous pistils that mature into follicles. In all of these cases the ovary is superior and there is commonly some development of a perigynous zone. However, in a fourth subfamily, Maloideae, the ovary is compound and inferior, and an epigynous zone may occur. Each "thumbnail" image below is linked to a larger photograph.

67. Gardening With Herbs - Part 1 Toward the end of the century botany and medicine began to split away from herbs came to be considered pharmacology and other herbs a part of botany. http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/hortihints/0004a.html

Barbara Larson Unit Educator, Horticulture Past Issues Gardening with Herbs - Part 1 What is by definition a "useful plant?" The answer is the hundreds of plants classified as herbs. Charlemagne described herbs as "friend of the physician and pride of cooks." Herbs are used as flavorings, dyes, fragrances, cosmetics, cleansers, and medicines throughout the world. Although many herbs are perennials, some are annuals, biennials, or trees and shrubs. Herbs will grow in a wide variety of conditions and many are easy to raise. Herbs are the oldest cultivated garden plants. The first known writings on the cultivation and use of herbs by Chinese emperor Seng Nung are 5000 years old. Several other ancient writings, also known as herbals, have been found including Sumerian tablets from 2200 BC and Egyptian papyrus scrolls from 2800 BC. The most influential of the medicinal herbals was De Materia Medica written by a Greek physician living in Rome in 1st Century CE. Most herbal writing for the next 1600 years was based on this. De Materia Medica promoted the Doctrine of Signatures which proposed the healing powers of plants were related to their shape and color. For example

This article is reproduced from Flowering Plants of the World (Updated Edition) , V. H. Heywood ed. Flowering Plants of the World is an excellent general reference to the flowering plants, with many detailed and beautiful illustrations by some of the most accomplished of modern botanical artists. It is published by Oxford University Press (New York, 1993). GESNERIACEAE African Violets and Gloxinias Dr. B. Morley The Gesneriaceae is a large family comprising mostly tropical herbs and shrubs. It includes many popular cultivated ornamentals, such as gloxinias and African violets. Distribution The 125 genera and 2,000 or so species are mostly pantropical, but some are temperate, in the Americas from Mexico to Chile, East, West and South Africa, Madagascar, Southeast Asia, Polynesia, Australasia, China, Japan and southern Europe. Diagnostic features Evolution of about half of the New World gesneriads has been partly by co-adaptation with bird pollinators, notably the hummingbird family which is restricted to the Americas. Typical hummingbird flowers are two-lipped, often red as in Columnea Asteranthera and some Sinningia species. Other pollinators such as bees, bats, butterflies, moths and flies have also been active in gesneriad evolution. In

Papers In the United States, "alternative medicine" is increasingly popular. Modern Western medicine is sometimes seen as too harsh or invasive, while many alternative therapies are seen as gentler and/or working with the body’s own natural healing powers. Alternative medicine focuses on non-Western and Western historical healing therapies, which have been used for centuries among many cultural groups. Acupuncture, herbal and nutritional therapies, therapeutic massage, and hypnosis are just a few of the practices that encompass the term "alternative medicine." This guide covers only works on herbal medicine that are located in Randall Library.

Garden Botany Grouping Plants by Form and Function Plants are grouped together according to their form or function in a variety of ways. One of the most obvious takes into account the overall form of the plant. Habit is one way of discussing overall form. Habit Gardeners traditionally have grouped plants into broad categories on the basis of their overall appearance, or habit. The following is a list of the more common habits of plants: Trees : Woody plants with a single or few trunks near the base. Shrubs : Woody plants that branch near the base and therefore have several trunks. Lianas : Woody plants that climb on other plants and use them for support. They may climb via tendrils, hooks, pads, aerial roots, or other mechanisms. Herbs : Non-woody plants. There are several types of herbs, including: Forbs : Broad-leaved herbs.
