Description
Manuel Gómez de la Maza (1867-1916) was the botanist of Cuban independence — he described the island's flora when much of it had never been catalogued under any name a Cuban had chosen. This essay treats the plants as medicine: what grows there, what it was used for, and what the pharmacological literature could confirm. Tropical materia medica of this period sits exactly on the line between folk knowledge and laboratory chemistry, and the interest of the book is that it takes both seriously without pretending they are the same thing. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1889 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
