Lectures
The following lecture outlines
summarize many of the concepts and facts
presented during an upper undergraduate
course in ethnobotany at the Department
of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical
Botany of Khon Kaen University. As can be
seen from the following list, lecture
presentations on important groups of
economic plants were interspersed with
lectures on ethnobotanical concepts and
methodology. Although the content of each
outline is variable, you will find
information divided into summaries, basic
text and other readings, examples,
excerpts from key references, facts, and
questions for discussions. Instructive
videos, overhead and exercises are noted
for some lectures. The outlines are
listed in the order they were presented
in the classroom (see course
outline for more information).
The lectures are being constantly edited
and updated for future courses, so if you
have any suggestions about these
outlines, please write to Gary J. Martin
