The old saying “no prescription can be made without Yunnan medicinal materials” suggests the profound heritage and extensive influence of Yunnan's ethnic medicine culture and medicinal plant resources. This book, A Companion Volume to Medicinal Plants and Mushrooms of Yunnan Province of China, continues the systematical introduction of the plant morphological characteristics, medicinal history, resource situation, traditional uses, ethnopharmacology, phytochemicals, pharmacological effects, biosynthesis, and sustainable utilization of some important or endemic medicinal plants and mushrooms of Yunnan Province of China, including Amomi Fructus, Amomum tsaoko, Angelica sinensis, Aucklandia costus, Gentiana rigescens, Phyllanthus emblica, and Polygonatum kingianu, Tricholoma matsutake, etc. Furthermore, this book offers strategies and advice for sustainable utilization and rational exploitation of medicinal plant resources in Yunnan, drawing on the basis of the author's years of practice in the field.Reviews species-specific natural products discovered from Yunnan medicinal plants, and their bio-activities.Provides a brief introduction to the commercial drugs and health products developed based on these medicinal plants.Discusses the resource availability and conservation status of these medicinal plants.For those threatened species, the causes of their endangerment are summarized and conservation strategies are proposed.Enhances understanding with high-quality original photographs and illustrations of the plants, their habitats, and usage in traditional remedies.

This book provides essential information on the morphology, biology, phytochemistry, pharmaceutical prospects, evolution, phylogeny, biogeography, and taxonomy of Paris (Melanthiaceae), a morphologically distinctive plant genus with great economic importance. Since the establishment of this genus, 70 species and 24 subspecific taxa have been described, resulting in considerable confusion in species delimitation. In this book, the taxonomy of all described taxa is carefully revised. Based on multi-disciplinary evidences, a revised classification system of Paris containing five sections is outlined. Every species is provided with a concise but diagnostic description, a color illustration, photographs that highlight distinguishing characters, examined specimens and distribution range. The interspecific relationships are clarified with an identification key. This monograph offers taxonomists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists, horticulturalists, phytochemists, and practitioners athorough and up-to-date overview about this interesting plant group. It is equally valuable for undergraduate and graduate students, teachers and professionals engaged in related fields.
