This second volume in the Cryptogams-series deals with
the pteridophytes, or the ferns, clubmosses and horsetails. The
possibilities of these species are not limited to use as garden and indoor
ornamentals, though this is what they are best known by. As they have
representatives in most natural land habitats, often in abundance,
pteridophytes have instigated cultures all over the world to employ them
for various purposes. Many of these applications comply with the needs of
rural communities for food, medicine, and structural materials. With the
ongoing proliferation of industrialized urban society, these traditional
uses have partly disappeared, and have partly persisted till the present
day in a vividly living tradition. The high content of a great variety of
chemical constituents of many pteridophytes has led to the recognition of a
medicinal value of a number of species. Several of those have been in use
in traditional and herbal medicine for centuries.
A few species have recently gained interest by
pharmaceutical research as possible leads to the development of medicines
for hard-to-cure diseases. Other contemporary development has engendered
less obvious applications, such as mosquito control, manuring, energy
production, decontamination of waste waters and soils, and as prophylactic
agent against nerve gases. In this volume, more than 100 species are
treated in 53 papers. In addition, 3 papers have been included that deal
with mosses.
