From liquorice and tea tree to the toothache plant and queen's delight, this book is an exploration of some of the most important and commonly used medicinal plants, showcased through 40 stunning paintings from the Kew archives. As the vital source behind a vast and varied array of contemporary drugs, these plants have been utilised with life-restoring rewards across the world.

An introductory chapter by a Kew expert provides an overview of this plant group, and extended captions accompany each painting. Each book in the Kew Pocketbooks series shares 40 botanical paintings from Kew's extensive Library and Archives collection, illustrating the variety within each group, as well as the diversity of the collection and artistic styles.

The luxury finish on these books makes them a must-have gift item, printed on uncoated paper and with a cloth and foil finish.
