Features: "The Illustrated Dictionary of Toxic Chinese Herbs" elaborates on toxic Chinese herbs from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine in terms of morphology, composition, pharmacology, poisoning and treatment, filling this gap. However, the drawback is the lack of real color photographs, which is a significant deficiency in correctly identifying species, collecting, and processing. The publication of "The Color Illustrated Dictionary of Toxic Chinese Herbs" to a large extent makes up for this shortcoming. This book collects color photographs of 505 toxic herbs taken across the country, accompanied by concise descriptions. Most of these color photos were taken by photographers who traveled through mountains and rivers, enduring hardships on-site. Each photograph is clear, realistic, and highlights morphological characteristics, vividly reflecting the growth habits and ecological environments of these toxic herbs. This book is a color atlas for visually identifying the morphological characteristics of toxic herbs, highly practical. It serves as a reference for teaching and research personnel in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as a tool for the general public to identify toxic herbs, possessing invaluable scientific value.
