Herbage is an ethnobotanical database. Of the more than 2600 plant species included, each entry includes one or more of the following: common names, medicinal action, ailments the plant is used to treat, indigenous use, mail-order source, range, habitat, alkaloid and nutrient content, and public-domain illustrations. Options include searching, selecting a subset (i.e., plants native to brazil, plants used to treat tachycardia), adding to or modifying data, or printing a fully-formatted illustrated herbal.
