Comprehensive listing of species and how to grow them. Somewhat outdated, it has been replaces in 1992 by a new dictionary (see [200]).

The standard work. Brilliant, but not for the casual reader.

A translation of an ancient Chinese book on edible wild foods. Fascinating.

Excellent and very comprehensive, though it contains a number of silly mistakes. Readable yet also very detailed.

Details of over 1,200 medicinal plants of China and brief details of their uses. Often includes an analysis, or at least a list of constituents. Heavy going if you are not into the subject.

On-line version of the Flora - an excellent resource giving basic info on habitat and some uses.
