Medicinal Plant Lecture And Discussion At MOBOT
By Julie Bierach

St. Louis, MO - Close to one-third of modern prescription medicines 
contain a plant-derived ingredient, yet only a tiny fraction of the 
250,000 or more known plant species have been evaluated with modern 
methods for pharmaceutical use. Join Dr. Rainer Bussmann, William L. Brown 
Curator of Economic Botany at the William L. Brown Center at the Missouri 
Botanical Garden, for an informal discussion about medicinal plants at 
Science Caf, on Thursday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. at Herbie.s Restaurant 
(formally Balban.s), 405 N. Euclid Ave. in St. Louis. The event is free to 
attend. Food and beverages are available for purchase.
