Text-Book of Pharmacognosy
Abstract
The author defines pharmacognosy as the science which treats of the history, production, commerce, collection, selection, identification, valuation, preservation and use of drugs and other economic materials of plant and animal origin. The aim of the work is to supply a systematic textbook for students of pharmacognosy, either from the morphologic or from the taxonomic point of view. Pharmacognosy is so wide in scope that few students can master it because of its generality as well as its specificity. The study of pharmacognosy is now confined almost entirely to schools of pharmacy, and even here the time given to it is becoming restricted more and more. Medical students are but little exposed to it. Textbooks of pharmacology have found it expedient to restrict pharmacognosy to the mere essentials of such drugs as digitalis, ergot and quinine, and many students cannot recognize any of these. Ever since Dioscorides compiled the Greek

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
