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. |

| HBG: The Herbanext Botanical Garden maintains a collection of over 250 medicinal plants and species accessions available for student researchers. The collection includes native, endemic, and introduced species with known traditional medicinal use. HBG only sells powdered herbs and not live plants. Check out the HBG site.

| New plant names needed The compilation now numbers over 1,500 medicinal plants. While I believe there are hundreds more that can be added to the collection, they are becoming more difficult to find. If you know of a medicinal plant, native or introduced, to suggest for addition to the compilation, please email the info: local plant name (if known), any known folkloric medicinal use, scientific name (most helpful), and, if possible, a photo. Your help will be greatly appreciated. |
