New Zealand’s Economic Native Plants.

R.C. Cooper and R.C. Cambie.

This very interesting text draws on traditional Maori usage, modern scientific research and economic developments to describe past, present and future uses of many New Zealand plants. The authors conduct a critical review of the materials and products which can be obtained from plants. These include plants for dyestuffs, in horticulture, in medicine, as food and beverages, fibres, oils and perfumes. All plants are listed with Maori, common and scientific names. Illustrations.
