face="Times New Roman" size=3>Botanic Gardens Conservation International
(U.S.) is developing a classroom curriculum module about plant conservation
for middle school students. The curriculum will involve six 50-minute
class periods, with a culminating visit to a botanic garden or arboretum.
The lessons focus on the importance of plants, basic plant biology, and
threats to plants worldwide. One of the lessons about the importance of
plants will focus on medicinal plants. Our curriculum team is seeking
information on approximately 20 medicinal plants. The specific
information they are seeking for each plant is:</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Symbol
