PROTA 11(2): Medicinal plants 2
Choice of species
Work on the second volume of the Medicinal plants has started! It will be at least as big a task as the first volume, as it is planned to treat 964 species in the new volume.
A small group of species is very important and will receive a 'major treament', but many other species are only locally known and not much information is available, so these will be treated by an internal writing team.
The species in this volume have been put into 3 groups, and in 2009 we plan to finish with the first group. In 2010 and 1011 there will be a call for authors for the other 2 groups.
Below you find the list of major species of the first group for which we are looking for authors.
Editors
- Mrs Dr Gaby Schmelzer, PROTA Network Office Europe, Netherlands
- Mrs Prof Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, University of Mauritius, Mauritius
Current state of activities (July 2009)
- Group 1: Planning: c. 68 species in extended format (‘major species’); c. 250 species in reduced format (‘minor species’ and ‘mentioned species’).
- Authors are sought for different species, see table below. Anyone interested to contribute as an author of one of these species is kindly invited to notify Gaby Schmelzer (gaby.schmelzer@wur.nl) also indicate your former experience and/or publications on the subject.
The major species are listed in the following table:
