SCOPE:  The study of medical botany is taking on new significance as the
world's rain
forests are destroyed.  Tropical plants contain an enormous variety of
chemicals of potential benefit to modern medicine.  Major universities,
pharmaceutical firms, and government agencies, including the National
Institutes of Health, are greatly expanding their programs in natural
products research in hopes of finding new medicines for a variety of ills,

including cancer, diabetes, and diseases of the immune system.  Teams of
plant collectors, chemists, and ethnobotanists have been dispatched to
tropical regions to collect new species and to study the folklore of
medicinal plants from local healers and those with knowledge of indigenous

plants.  The ethnobotanical information that these individuals can supply
helps narrow the search for plants with known pharmacological activity.
This compilation, an update of two earlier Tracer Bullets (TB 72-19 and TB

81-2), provides references to published materials on plants containing
substances of medicinal value.  Publications issued since 1980, as well as

those that librarians and researchers have found particularly useful in
their
work over the years, are emphasized.  More attention has been given to the

medicinal plants used by Native Americans and to titles describing plants
in
different geographical areas than was done in earlier compilations.  This
Tracer Bullet has been compiled to assist individuals in locating
materials
about medicinal plants in the collections of the Library of Congress and
to
provide suggestions for further study.  Not intended to be a comprehensive

bibliography, this guide is designed--as the name of the series
implies--to
put the reader "on target."
