Today, though, there is new interest in the ways native plants can provide us with food, fibre, building materials and medicines. These stories of native plants of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand describe the characteristics of the plants and the ways that Måaori and European settlers grew and processed them, and they uncover some surprising uses of common native plants"--Back cover.
