[MPWG] Fw: Antw: Re: Publication on Harpagophytum

[Patricia_DeAngelis at fws.gov]

Forwarding a message about a new publication on the sustainable harvest of 
Harpagophytum. Also called grapple plant, the species is native to 
southern Africa, but I think it is still informative to the issues we face 
in North America.  The publication is posted at the website:  
www.floraweb.de/map-pro

Dear colleagues,

Today I have posted a copy of our recent publication "Population
Dynamics and Sustainable Harvesting of the Medicinal Plant
Harpagophytum procumbens in Namibia" by Marianne Strohbach and Dave Cole 
to you. I
hope you will find interesting information in it.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2008!

With kindest regards,
Natalie Hofbauer
