Thanks, Mary Sue. I have a copy of that book and it is very intersting, although I agree that some plants may be erroneous or extinct. I wish there had been the foresight and wisdom to record the plant uses by the indigenous peoples before so much was lost.

Dear Nancy, I have a book, "Plants used by the Indians of Mendocino County California" by V.K. Chestnut. The names of the plants have often changed and I think some of the species are also misidentified or else they are now extinct, but it is an interesting book. If you can't find it perhaps I could lend it to you.
