On this page you will a complete list of all the plants (and plant derived substances) that I have researched and documented in my notes. This list covers all of the articles to come in the near future. Clicking on them will lead you to their respective articles. Do be wary with some of these because taxonomy is still a complete mess, so most plants have multiple latin names. Ask me if you have any questions!
