Thanks are due many people for helping to make this volume possible, but first of all to my esteemed senior colleague, Professor Richard Evans Schultes, Director of the Botanical Museum of Harvard University. His early enthusiasm for the project led to its being sponsored by the Botanical Museum, an institution known, among other activities, for its research in economic botany. It was Professor Schultes' continuing interest and guidance which encouraged those of us engaged in the project when difficulties and frustrations threatened. Professor Paul C. Mangelsdorf, Director Emeritus of the Botanical Museum, first named me to the Museum staff as a Research Fellow early in the 1960s, when I had just finished graduate school. The appointment immeasurably assisted my prosecution of this and other work in economic botany, including, in particular, research on hallucinogenic plants of the New World. I am no less indebted to Professors Reed C. Rollins and Richard A. Howard, respective Directors of the Gray Herbarium and Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. It was an interest in the history of botanical exploration in the Caribbean, held in common with Professor Howard, that originally drew me to graduate studies at Harvard. Subsequently, I wrote my doctoral thesis on the taxonomy and ethnobotany of the tropical American leguminous genus Anadenanthera, under the direction of Professor Rollins. At that time my first thoughts about this catalogue began to take shape and were discussed with Professor Rollins. Without the generous permission of both Professors Rollins and Howard to use the entire collections of the Gray Herbarium and Arnold Arboretum, the project could not have been undertaken. Mrs. Edward H. Metzger and Dr. D. Doel Soejarto aided me in carefully and selectively collecting information from herbarium sheets. Drs. Shiu Ying Hu and Lily M. Perry especially, and on occasion other herbarium personnel, offered translations and interpretations of IX

field notes and gave freely of their time and advice to help unravel knotty problems. Professor Benjamin R. Hershenson, of the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, is responsible almost exclusively for constructing the medical index to the catalogue, a painstaking task that required accuracy and judgment. For their generous academic support, my special appreciation goes to: Professor Heber W. Youngken, Jr., Dean of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Rhode Island; Dr. Bryce Douglas, Director of Research at the Smith Kline and French Laboratories; Professor Robert F. Raffauf, of the College of Pharmacy at Northeastern University (formerly of Smith Kline and French); and Dr. Gordon H. Svoboda of Eli Lilly and Company. They worked in close cooperation with our team, enthusiastically receiving and analyzing portions of our data as they were gathered. Perhaps more than any of my professional friends who were not intimately involved with the project, the late Professor Daniel H. Efron, of the National Institute of Mental Health and the University of Maryland, comprehended the broader implications of what we were trying to achieve. While the catalogue was in preparation, he suggested on a number of occasions appropriate forms for the presentation of portions of our data. He made recommendations of major importance to the publishing of the book. We received financial aid from Eli Lilly Research Laboratories and from Smith Kline and French Laboratories, as well as from the National Institute of Mental Health, all to accomplish the gathering of data. The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy supported Professor Hershenson's portion of the work, while a grant f r o m the National Library of Medicine made it possible to publish the manuscript through Harvard University Press.

Foreword

In 1961 Dr. Siri von Reis Altschul, as an extension of her work in taxonomy and ethnobotany and her interest in several naturalproducts research programs then under way in American pharmaceutical circles, conceived an ambitious idea. This idea materialized, thanks to her persistence, and led to preparation of the present volume. I believe that the many kinds of specialists who undoubtedly will utilize the information in the following pages may appreciate a few words on the conception and development of Dr. Altschul's idea. In science's search for novel biodynamic constituents and potential new therapeutic agents from the plant kingdom, several avenues of approach have been followed: a random sampling of the existing flora; direct study of plant uses among peoples still living in primitive cultures; and reliance upon information in the literature. The last of these avenues apparently has been the one most commonly followed in pharmaceutical circles. Generally speaking, it has been unreliable. Scraps of information about the use of a plant may be gleaned easily from all kinds of literature—including even history, reports of missionaries and travelers, and other rather casual and diffuse writings. Investigators frequently begin by consulting regional floras, compendia prepared by botanists that usually include economic notes about the species growing naturally in the area covered by the particular flora. These notes on plant uses are seldom first-hand; more often they are second-, third- or fourth-hand repetitions, citing neither sources of the original reports nor voucher specimens from which the identifications were made. Consequently, errors and uncertainties are frequent even in the floristic literature, which should be—and undoubtedly is—the most reliable available. Recent pharmaceutical research more than once has become disoriented because of erroneous reports in floras. It occurred to Dr. Altschul, as a direct outgrowth of her survey of literature reports about the use of hallucinogenic snuffs in the New World, that too much reliance had been placed on these data in XI

xii / Foreword

floristic, historic and other works—data completely divorced from specimens or other means of checking identification. The natural corollary then occurred to her: Why not utilize the almost untapped wealth of ethnobotanical notes hidden away on labels in our herbaria? The more she pondered the potentialities inherent in a search of herbaria and the longer she discussed it with her colleagues, the more Dr. Altschul was convinced that this source of information on folk medicine ought to be utilized. A herbarium report itself, she reasoned, was usually first-hand, jotted down on the spot by the collector of the plant in the locality and at the time of collection. It was on a label, often in the collector's own handwriting, and physically attached to a specimen. Consequently, there could be no uncertainty about the identity of the plant. The season of collection, ecological notes, description of the plant, vernacular names, and other information would often be found on the label—all of these data occasionally of importance either for evaluation of the use or for possible re-collection of fresh material of the plant for chemical study. Some of the collections would be recent, others very old. The old specimens frequently preserved notes about uses that have disappeared with the cultures or peoples who employed the plant and therefore would be even more valuable to modern researchers. The herbaria of the world comprise vast collections of plants from all parts of the world during the past two centuries. Thus they make it economically feasible to pursue significant ethnobotanical studies in deserts or in tropical rain forests, at sea level or on the highest mountains, in Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe, North or South America—all without leaving the herbaria. Dr. Altschul eventually set about to search the estimated 2,500,000 specimens preserved in the combined collections of the Gray Herbarium and the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University. It was a major task, but one which she carried through over a period of four and a half years, with the results that are set forth in the following pages. A combination of enthusiasm and energy, faith in the value of the work, and meticulous organization of the information retrieved mark her accomplishment. It is offered as an indicator and, at times, as a guide for the diverse kinds of specialists dedicated to an examination of the world's vegetation; it is also a potential model for what may prove to be in older and larger herbaria—as well as in newer and smaller ones—a key to advantageous use of the plant kingdom as a source of valuable new chemical constituents.

Drugs and Foods from Little-Known Plants

Introduction

The purpose of this book is to bring to light little-known data relating to unusual drug and food plants. It is my hope that the species in this catalogue o f potential use to man may be studied and saved before they are extinguished. Some of these species have been partially domesticated by primitive societies that now are disappearing, along with their knowledge and traditions; many more are wild and likely to become extinct as civilized man disturbs their natural environments. The concept of the b o o k is based on trust in the elements o f empiricism in primitive medicine and nutrition. Along with this goes faith that amassing folklore and presenting it against taxonomic patterns may yield insights into medical validities and, incidentally, into chemotaxonomic affinities of interest t o the botanical systematist. The fact that the notes herein are firsthand and that the collections cited can be traced in most instances directly t o their localities should provide the pharmacognocist with a head start in his search for drugs.

Species Included and Excluded The data in this catalogue were gathered in four and a half years, starting in January 1 9 6 2 . A search was carried out through the estimated 2 , 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 sheets of dried, pressed specimens o f angiosperms, or flowering plants, encompassed in the combined collections o f the Gray Herbarium and the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. Approximately 5 0 0 0 species of possible interest were found and are presented herewith. The orchid family was not fully surveyed, as its representatives are housed separately at Harvard in the Oakes Ames Orchid Herbarium o f the Botanical Museum; this large group was considered at the time to be relatively too well-known to warrant a special study. Furthermore, random search through several thousand sheets in the Ames Herbarium yielded no notes on utilization.

2 / Introduction

Also excluded are gymnosperms, pteridophytes, bryophytes, fungi, and algae, partly because it was believed that they would be accompanied by fewer notes of interest and partly because of the desirability of limiting an already sizable undertaking. It should be mentioned that an unreckoned number of sheets was out on loan to other herbaria and museums while the search was being conducted; to that extent, this catalogue does not reflect completely the riches of its sources. One may well wonder, too, how many potentially interesting species we passed over in the herbarium for lack of information on their uses. The percentage represented there could be fairly high, since field collectors are taxonomists more often than ethnobotanists, and this tends to be reflected in their notations. Internationally recognized taxonomic types were omitted from this catalogue since they have been published previously in journals of systematics and are relatively well-known. Similarly, species whose Latin names alone suggested medicinal or nutritional properties, although obviously pertinent, were eliminated as having been published earlier. However, these were retained in the catalogue when they offered, in addition, corroborative or otherwise interesting label data. Still other species, where the writing on the labels was in exotic characters, were excluded because of potential difficulties of interpretation and reproduction. The greatest number of species eliminated from the catalogue were those with uses well enough known to have been included in J. C. Th. U p h o f s Dictionary of Economic Plants (Weinheim, Germany: J. Cramer, 1959). Each relevant species encountered in the herbarium was checked against U p h o f s compendium. Species with uses enumerated therein were omitted f r o m our lists, unless the herbarium specimen added new aspects to the uses given or extended the geographical distribution of a previously known use. In addition, where one collection of a species offered a note of interest, notations otherwise of little interest from other collections of the same species sometimes were included if they bore notes which might enhance insights into the use of that species. Common names associated with species of interesting uses occasionally were found applied to other species. Where this occurred, an attempt was made to include all of the species bearing that common name on the chance that all might possess similar properties. When a common name or a specific use was found in more than one collection of a given species within an "average-sized" country (if one may use such an expression), the repeats were not recorded, as this compilation was not intended to be a frequency study. The imbalance in geographical representation of species in this catalogue is unfortunately unavoidable. Herbarium collections tend to be specialized in

3 / Introduction

particular geographical areas, and the collections of the Gray Herbarium and the Arnold Arboretum are richer in representatives from eastern Asia, South America, and the South Pacific than they are, for example, in those from Europe or Africa. Of a total of 294 families examined in the course of searching, 178—or more than half—are represented here; these encompass about 1700 genera and 5100 species. The Compositae are the best represented, comprising appioximately 15 percent of the species; the Euphorbiaceae, 8 percent; Leguminosae, 7 percent; Labiatae, 6 percent; Rubiaceae, Lauraceae, and Liliaceae, 4 percent each; Piperaceae, 3 percent; Rosaceae, Boraginaceae, Asclepiadaceae, and Rutaceae, 2 percent each; Verbenaceae, Apocynaceae, Fagaceae, Araceae, and Flacourtiaceae, 1 percent each. The largest single category of plants represented is that of edible species (1255). Next are aromatic species (992), and then species referred to in the herbarium notes as "medicinal" (407). These are followed by poisonous species (284), species used against gastrointestinal disorders (241), species with reputed analgesic properties (190), species used to treat injuries (179), respiratory ailments (140), and skin diseases (116), species from which beverages are made (112), and so on, including all species with notes hinting at possible biodynamic properties of any kind. Indexes to families and genera are presented to facilitate handling for readers interested in the folklore of particular plants or plant groups. For those who would use the book for locating plants associated with specific medicinal capacities—diaphoretics or febrifuges, for example—there is a medical index referring to diseases and therapeutic properties. The last indexes many of the notes in the catalogue but does not include common names, which are usually vague in application. It is recommended that readers interested in specific medicinal properties not confine themselves to plants cited in the index b u t thoroughly explore the text as well. Editorial Principles

Employed

The use of this catalogue should not require a background in systematic botany or herbarium techniques, but for the benefit of those familiar with the disciplines and for other readers interested in how certain problems were handled, the following remarks may be helpful. The species and the notes belonging with them are arranged herein as they were found in the integrated collections of the Gray Herbarium and the Arnold Arboretum. This means that species are to be found under the genera which encompass them and that genera are to be found under their respective families. Families are arranged according to the Engler and Prantl system of phylogenetic sequence, progressing from the presumed primitive families, such as grasses, to the

4 / Introduction

advanced composites. Because the system is linear, it probably does not reflect a truly evolutionary scheme, but it works well from a practical point of view. Genera within families are arranged systematically according to the Dalla Torre and Harms system, which carries out the Engler and Prantl concept of phylogenetic sequence. Under this system the species within genera may be arranged in alphabetical order. But where genera are large, the species may be organized to reflect taxonomic (presumably evolutionary) relationships. Species within an extensive genus, of wide occurrence, at times may be arranged according to geographical distribution. Following this system in our text serves to highlight groups of similar uses among related plants and helps to pinpoint genera, families, or clusters of families which may have similar biodynamic properties. The suggestion of common active constituents becomes especially strong where—as is evident in a number of instances in the text—within a single genus or species, plants widely separated geographically are reported to be used for similar purposes. Family names throughout are spelled in accordance with G. H. M. Lawrence's Taxonomy of Vascular Plants (New York: Macmillan, 1955). Generic and specific names for the most part are spelled as they were in the herbarium, except that some obvious errors were corrected with the help of Index Kewensis. Throughout the text specific and infraspecific epithets have been decapitalized. Since the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Utrecht, Netherlands: Kemink en Zoon, 1956) permits authors naming new species in some cases to capitalize such epithets, a portion of our entries no doubt is inexact. For the sake of expediency only, the correct forms were not ascertained. In the interest of brevity, and because this book is not meant to be in any way a taxonomic work, the botanical authorities have been omitted from all Latin binomials. It may be helpful to the reader to show the format of each entry in the catalogue and to explain the various elements in some detail:

(a) Catalogue no.

Family (b) Latin name of species

(c) Place of collection

(e) Year collected

(f) Quotation of interest

(g) Common name

(d) Collector and collector's number (h) Dialect

5 / Introduction

(a) Each species has been assigned a number (from 1 to 5178), for ease of handling and for indexing. The numbers serve no function outside the book, although closely related numbers may suggest relationships between the species, genera, or families involved. During the long preparation of this volume the author and editors decided to omit certain entries, to move misplaced materials, and to add some species. In view of the extent and complexity of the catalogue, we felt it was better sometimes to omit numbers—or to add them by the use of A, B, and so on—than to risk the errors that might occur if we were to alter the whole numbering system. (b) In all instances identifications of the plants are recorded as they were indicated in the herbarium. Where there were discrepancies between the specific identification on a sheet and that on the folder enclosing it, the name on the folder was used. Even where the two names agreed, identifications sometimes were questionable, or the name used was not the currently accepted one. In order, however, for a researcher to be able to find specimens as desired among the extensive collections, the label names have been retained in the present work. (c) Under each species, one or more collections are entered, each beginning with the name of a country or other political or geographical unit to indicate where, in general, the collection was made. These names are presented as they appeared on the labels attached to the herbarium specimens. In some instances the names are in archaic or foreign spellings and may refer to countries or political entities that no longer exist. Almost all these names have been retained herein because they can be useful in estimating the ages of undated collections, as well as in delimiting collection localities in countries where political events have resulted in border changes. In other instances, especially among older collections, the country of collection could not be determined. Where this was the case, an approximation was substituted, where possible, by using the same broad, politically artificial (though floristically valid) system of geographical designation as is employed in the arrangement of specimens in the herbarium. The units of this system consistently are capitalized in their entirety, to distinguish them from countries, islands, and the like. These units are defined below and are used herein exactly as in the herbarium: E. ASIA China, Manchuria, Mongolia, Tibet, Siberia, Kamchatka, Japan, Korea, Formosa, Hainan INDIA India, Burma, Siam, Indo-China, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Ceylon, Andaman Islands W. MALAYSIA Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes, small islands in the area of Amboina

PAPUAS IA

New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Admiralty Islands, New Britain and small islands in the area (Melanesia) POLYNESIA Polynesia, Micronesia, Mariana and Caroline Islands to Hawaii and the Marquesas Islands (Pacific Basin), Fiji, Sandwich, Guam, Samoa, New Hebrides AUSTRALIA Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania including the Mediterranean district and eastEUROPE ward to Persia and North Central Asia, Canary Islands, Azores, Turkestan (d) In each entry the country is followed by the name of the collector (or collectors) and his number. Where such numbers were absent, herbarium numbers are given if available, or some combination of names and numbers to identify the collection. The abbreviation "s.n." denotes the absence of a collector's number. (e) The year of collection is given next, usually in whatever form or abbreviation occurred on the specimen label. Hence one may encounter in the text, for instance: 46, '46, "46, 194, 946, or 1946. This procedure was followed in part because it was not always clear in which century the collection was made. Furthermore, we have insisted on fidelity here because we are aware of the possibility that numbers assumed to be dates sometimes may have been intended to signify something entirely different. (f) The year is followed by the note or notes of possible interest to the medical or health sciences. Here we have quoted verbatim from herbarium labels, including variations and errors in orthography and punctuation, following each label's capitalization or decapitalization, and the like. (g) If there is a common name for the plant and this name is not included in the quotation, it will follow the quote, in a new quotation. Single quotes within double quotes mean that the single quotes were double quotes on the herbarium label from which the excerpt was taken. "N.v." appears often in this portion of the entries and designates the vernacular name. Many species have been included in this catalogue on the sole basis of the suggested symbolism of their common names. It was believed advisable to include more, instead of fewer, such species, rather than risk missing something useful. In line with this belief, notes indicating aromatic plants, edible plants, plants used in magical ceremonies, and so forth are included. Decisions to include or exclude materials in foreign tongues and local primitive dialects were difficult to make; some place names may have slipped in as common names, especially from very old and almost illegible labels.

7 / Introduction

(h) In each entry, along with the common or vernacular name(s), available information as to language or dialect or locality of the name may be given, sometimes in parentheses or following the name. Occasionally the language will appear after the quotation at the very end of the entry, often in abbreviated form. In all instances the data are as they appear on the herbarium labels themselves. It is hoped that those who use this work will understand that the lack of uniformity in the entries arises mainly from variations in the styles of collectors' notations and from our desire to be faithful, as far as feasible, to the data as they appeared on the herbarium labels. Throughout, the aim has been to combine accuracy with facility of interpretation. For data beyond those enumerated, the researcher may want to go to the specimen itself in any particular instance for details of locality, season of collection, and possible additional reports of uses not deemed relevant to our purposes here.

'Gousiekte' was suspected; the 'Gousiekte' plant, devoured in large quantities by sheep and cattle over a long period, had been indicated possibly as a toxic species. Two bags of the plant had been collected and fed to two sheep; by the end of one month the sheep had a high fever, and one of them suffered diarrhea for some days. The final result is not indicated in the letter.
