Abstract (AB)460 medicinal plants have been identified in Mauritius as having therapeutic value. The first of three volumes, deals with 132 plants from 36 families; the second, with 163 plants from 41 families. The botanical description, the local and geographic distribution as well as the origin of each plant species entering the traditional pharmacopeia are reported. As far as possible the phytochemical composition as well as the pharmacological properties, as reported in the literature, for each species are given in the text. Finally a comparative study on the use of these plants in Mauritius, with those existing in the other island states of the Indian Ocean has also been carried out.
