Lotus Materia Medica

I agree with Drs. Vijay and Daxa Vaishnav that the Materia Medica is so vast. Every time I read a drug it is just like being Alice in a wonderland. It is a world by itself.

At the moment I am reading Lotus Materia Medica by Robin Murphy, ND. So I submit a little quiz to you for the pleasure of the challenge.
