Cherchez La Plant

Brief pictorial slideshows to aid identification of plants—both edible and “medicinal”. I do not claim to be authoritative, so ALWAYS consult an expert or expert field guide before touching or eating a plant. If in doubt, please do not eat. 

CAUTION regarding practitioners of alternate “medicine”: while some herbalists are knowledgeable, others are focused on profit. So, always research further before accepting information provided on commercially-oriented channels and websites. Further, concentration of chemicals varies within plants, so dosage is much more difficult to determine accurately when taking herbal remedies.
