The Ethnobotany of the California Indians
Book (italiano):
In a work written primarily for anthropologists rather than botanists (as evidenced by plants being listed alphabetically by scientific name rather than by family, genus, and species), a retired anthropologist compiles information on plants traditionally used by California tribes. Mead offers brief descriptions of the usage of 929 plants (as food/medicine/material), and lists native terminology, plant properties, and literature citations. Appendices include an index of plants by tribe, ornithographies, plant synonyms, a glossary, and references spanning 1880-1998. There are no illustrations.
