Acknowledgments
Our thanks to Dr. Vaishali Joshi, National

botanical description and help with mono-
graph preparation and literature searching. In
addition, Dr. Joshi’s major contribution to the
Indian Traditional Medicine chapter cannot go
unnoticed. Thanks are also due to Dr. Shabana
Khan, National Center for Natural Products
Research, School of Pharmacy, University of
Mississippi, for her help with the pharmacol-

Without their support the preparation of this
book would have been a daunting task.xxv
