Hello,
  One article on Ethnobotany appeared in the June 1994 issue of 
Scientific American.(vol. 270, no.6 pp.82-87) 
Entitled "The Ethnobotanical approach to drug discovery",by Paul A. Cox
and Michael J. Balick. A very interesting read, check it out.

           more a mystery to be experienced,    
                than a riddle to be solved."
