(Johanna Kufer & Michael Heinrich, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 160 (11), 2003)
"The title of this volume refers to different aspects of South American medicinal plants. … this book will no doubt be of interest to a wide range of readers, who will find valuable information on the use, remedial properties, and botanical features of medicinal plants of this tropical region of the world." (Gabriel Bernardello, Plant Systematics and Evolution, Vol. 235 (1-4), 2002)
