Philippine Resins, Gums, Seed Oils, and Essential Oils

Contained within this volume is an extensive encyclopedia of the seeds, oils, essential oils, gums, and resins found in the Philippines. Each chapter deals with a different species of plant, providing descriptions, information on habitat and seasonality, details of extraction methods, and much more. This profusely illustrated handbook is highly recommended for those with an interest in essential oils, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of vintage botanical literature. Contents include: "Family Pinaceae", "Family Leguminosae", "Family Burseraceae", "Family Dipterocarpaceae", "Gums", "Family Orchidaceae", "Family Moraceae", "Family Leguminosae", "Family Euphorbiaceae". "Family Sapotaceae", "Family Appcynaceae", "Seed Oils", "Family Palmae", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned introduction on essential oils. First published in 1920.
