Spearmint contains carvone and is used as an anesthetic and expectorant. Sage contains volatile oils, tannins, and rosmarinic acid and is used as
This document summarizes the Meliaceae family of plants. It describes their distribution as trees and shrubs found in tropical regions. Their key features include alternate, pinnately compound leaves and cymose inflorescences. Flowers are hermaphroditic or polygamous, pentamerous with a nectariferous disc. Fruits produced are berries, capsules or drupes. Some economically important species provide oils, medicines and timber. Common plants in the family include neem, Indian mahogany, and mahogany.
The family Asteraceae contains about 950 genera and 20,000 species of herbs, shrubs, and rarely trees distributed worldwide. The family is characterized by having composite flower heads (capitula) composed of disc and ray florets. Some economically important members include sunflower, lettuce, and dandelion. Asteraceae plants provide food, oil, rubber, insecticides, medicines, ornamentals, and also include some common weeds.
This document provides information on various plants from the Labiatae/Lamiaceae family including their botanical names, parts used, morphological features, constituents, and medicinal uses. It discusses important species such as peppermint, spearmint, holy basil, oregano, sage, rosemary, lemon balm, and horehound. The Labiatae family contains many aromatic herbs and is widely cultivated for medicinal and culinary purposes. Many species have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.
Brassicaceae (/br脱s肘ke肘sii/) or Cruciferae (/krus肘fri/)[2] is a medium-sized and economically important family of flowering plants commonly known as the mustards, the crucifers, or the cabbage family. Most are herbaceous plants, some shrubs, with simple, although sometimes deeply incised, alternatingly set leaves without stipules or in leaf rosettes, with terminal inflorescences without bracts, containing flowers with four free sepals, four free alternating petals, two short and four longer free stamens, and a fruit with seeds in rows, divided by a thin wall (or septum).
The family contains 372 genera and 4,060 accepted species.[3] The largest genera are Draba (440 species), Erysimum (261 species), Lepidium (234 species), Cardamine (233 species), and Alyssum (207 species).
The family contains the cruciferous vegetables, including species such as Brassica oleracea (e.g. broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collards), Brassica rapa (turnip, Chinese cabbage, etc.), Brassica napus (rapeseed, etc.), Raphanus sativus (common radish), Armoracia rusticana (horseradish), but also a cut-flower Matthiola (stock) and the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress).
Pieris rapae and other butterflies of the family Pieridae are some of the best-known pests of Brassicaceae species planted as commercial crops. Trichoplusia ni (cabbage looper) moth is also becoming increasingly problematic for crucifers due to its resistance to commonly used pest control methods.[4] Some rarer Pieris butterflies, such as Pieris virginiensis, depend upon native mustards for their survival, in their native habitats. Some non-native mustards, such as garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata, an extremely invasive species in the United States, can be toxic to their larvae.

Description : In this ppt the viewer will able to know about Sources of Herbs. Herbs are obtained from different plant sources. Various herbs grow in different countries depend on their agro-climatic requirements. The unintentional adulterations may leads to loss of yields in raw plant materials. Proper authentic sources of herbs plays major role in herbal formulations. There are different names and sources of herbs world wide. The biological & Geographical sources of herbs should be clearly indicated in various herbs guide/manual. These herbs are parts of medicines & spices therefore it should be identified properly.

It also provides some economic uses of plants from the Umbelliferae family and describes characteristics common across members of the Myrtaceae and Rubiaceae families.
This document summarizes key details about valerian root (Valeriana officinalis), including its botanical source, cultivation, chemical constituents, uses, and potential substitutes. Valerian root is harvested from the valerian plant, a perennial herb native to Europe and Asia. It contains various constituents like valepotriates, essential oils, and alkaloids that have sedative and anxiolytic effects. Traditionally, valerian root has been used to help relieve anxiety, stress, insomnia and other conditions. However, it is sometimes adulterated with roots of other plants like marsh valerian that do not have the same therapeutic properties.
