The Frontier Chemistry Project is a online resource guide to local flora that contains chemical compounds responsible for medical exploitation. the local plants would be used for medical purposes.
Identifying plants and roots are important to decide whether that species is useful towards the problem that occurs. If the wrong plant is used, there could be unwanted complications.
Sometimes there might be different types of the same species. These different types might be inhabited somewhere else. Knowing and identifying this difference is crucial when using the plant for medicinal uses. One type of plant may treat a certain problem while another type of the same species might cause complications to the same problem.
Seasonal change will also effect the available plants in the region. Different plants grow at different times of the year. A plant found in fall might not have the same properties as a plant found in spring. This seasonal change would make a significant difference in the use of a type of plant.
It would also be important to develop a relationship with native people about their habitat's plants. The people would know a lot more about certain plants and their uses. The information that they would possess would be very helpful in determining which plants to use for certain problems.
I would trust the knowledge I possess or knowledge a reference text possess. I would be familiar with a few of the plants so it could help but i would try finding more information about a plant before using it.
