Summary: Comprehensive but lacks depth
Comment: The book contains a very comprehensive list of compounds and plants. However, the plants listed are not referenced to their latin names, so unless you are a botanist, you would not recognize half of the plants listed. As promised by the title of the book, the book lists the names of hundreds of plants and the chemicals in these plants that have been published in scientific literature. Only compounds that have been published in the scientific literature for a specific plant is listed. Compounds present in plants but have not been published in the literature are not even mentioned in the book. The literature in which the compounds were discussed is cited, but there isn't any information on what the compounds do physiologically. Since the book was published in 1991, the references are a bit dated for many of the plants.
