With Forewords by I. Newly discovered hallucinogenic plants have been incorporated into the discussions along with new information on some well-known drugs. Newton Kugelmass and Henrich Kluver. The bibliography for this new edition has been enlarged to accommodate all of the recent activity in botanical and chemical investigation of psychoactive plants. Initial chapters delineate definition, botanical distribution, and structural types of hallucinogenic plants. The authors continue to focus on the botany and chemistry of hallucinogens, although they also consider ethnobotanical, historical, pharmacological and psychological aspects. By Richard Evans Schultes, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Albert Hofman
