This volume is part of the book series, 'Natural Products Chemistry of Global Plants' and presents those medicinal plants specific to Yunnan Province. It is written by world experts in their respective fields, the majority being based at the Kunming Institute of Botany.
Although many texts describe plants from China, the focus of this book is to draw on the rich culture and environment of medicinal plants and fungi/mushrooms of Yunnan Province. In fact, Yunnan Province covers two global hotspots of biodiversity, with the richest biological and cultural diversity in China. In particular, the Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (founded in 1938 and located in the capital city of Yunnan Province) has made great contributions in the fields of botany and phytochemistry, earning an international reputation. This book covers those medicinal plants and fungi/mushrooms specificl³(
