This is the 9th volume in the series Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the World. India is one of the countries with the longest and richest past, present, and future of medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) production and utilization. More than enough knowledge has been accumulated to fill two volumes. This is shown by the vivid interest of Indian colleagues to contribute. Similar to the previous volumes, this one deals with the various important aspects (from botanical through phytochemical to pharmacological) of MAPs, famous or simply known from India. Scientific and technological achievements are equally presented.
