Understudied Plants
| List of understudied plants | ||
This list was created in response to many inquiries from young researchers asking for a listing of understudied Philippine medicinal plants. Many are indigenous plants, some are plants in limited distribution in Southeast Asian countries—little studied, their record of folkloric medicinal uses slowly disappearing with the dying culture of albularyos and alternative healers, the sway of prescription phamaceuticals, and the continued denigration of herbal medicinal plants by physicians. |

| New plant names needed | ||
| The compilation now numbers about 1,100 medicinal plants. I believe there are hundreds more that can be added to the collection. The last 100 plants came with great difficulty, many by happenstance, some by suggestion of site visitors. The basic information needed is the local plant name, any known folkloric medicinal use, with a scientific name (preferably) or a photo. Your help will be greatly appreciated. | ||
