Download or read book Flora of Waya Island Fiji written by Rhys Owen Gardner and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an account of the plants that grow on the small Fijian island of Waya. It mainly concerns species native to Fiji but a number of adventives ("exotics" or "introductions") have been included too - in total 321 species are treated. It is based on specimens collected by Harold St John in 1937 and cited in A.C. Smith's Flora Viytiensis Nova, and on collections I got on Waya in 1991, 1992 and 2017. St John seems to have been the first botanist to visit Waya - neither the U.S. Exploring Expedition nor Berthold Seemann did. Subsequently, Waya and the other islands in the Yasawa Islands group have been collected from only infrequently (Smith 1979:76). I hope to show that this neglect is underserved."--Intorudction, p.1.

Download or read book Anti Fertility Plants of the Pacific written by RC Cambie and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing appreciation of traditional medical systems as a source of considerable knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants. Traditional medicines have the potential to offer leads to identifying potentially valuable chemicals that can be developed into new and more effective drugs, including safer contraceptives. The Pacific region is an excellent arena in which to search for such chemicals as: the area contains plant species not found elsewhere; there is every indication that many of the plants used more generally in traditional Pacific medicine may be efficacious – of 74 plants surveyed in one study 86% showed pharmacological activity; and in many Pacific traditions, knowledge of medicinal use is transmitted between generations as part of an inherited body of ethnomedical knowledge. This book documents all the available information on plants that have been used traditionally for anti-fertility and fertility purposes in the Pacific region, and indicates which of these plants hold the most promise for providing new anti-fertility agents. It also records instances in which the plant has been used outside the region.
