      abstract = {This volume is a compendium of selected plant species of  ethnobotanical value to the highland communities of popular  Southeast Asia. Traditional knowledge held by local  communities on their resources is always in flux and  adapting to a quickly changing environment. New plants find  their entry into the local pharmacopoeias, while existing  ones maybe removed. Likewise, various local communities  might find the same plant useful for completely different  purposes. While compiling information on the species,  authors have taken great care to ensure that the dynamic  nature of ethnobotanical knowledge is represented  adequately. Special emphasis has also been given to  cultural value of species to the local communities in the  region. The field (and thus the market) of ethnobotany and  ethnopharmacology has grown considerably in recent years.  Student interest is on the rise, attendance at professional  conferences has grown steadily, and the number of  professionals calling themselves ethnobotanists has  increased significantly (the various societies (Society for  Economic Botany, International Society of  Ethnopharmacology, Society of Ethnobiology, International  Society for Ethnobiology, and many regional and national  societies in the field currently have thousands of  members). The objective of this new Major Reference Work on  Ethnobotany of Mountain Regions of Southeast Asia is to  take advantage of the increasing international interest and  scholarship on highland landscapes and communities. While  ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions  of the world, no comprehensive encyclopedic volume on the  highlands of popular SE Asia is available in the market. We  include the best and latest research on a full range of  descriptive, methodological, theoretical, and applied  research on the most important plants for the region.  Scholars in plant sciences worldwide will also be  interested in the dedicated website for this volume and its  dynamic content.},
