      abstract = {This book continues as volume 7 of a multi-compendium on  Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal Plants. It covers plants  with edible flowers whose floral parts including the stalk  and flower nectar are eaten as conventional or functional  food and may provide a source of food colorant, additive or  neutraceuticals. This volume covers plant species with  edible flowers from families Acanthaceae to Fabaceae in a  tabular form and seventy five such species from the  families Amaryllidaceae, Apocynaceae, Asclepiadaceae,  Asparagaceae, Asteraceae, Balsaminaceae, Begoniaceae,  Bignoniaceae, Brassicaceae, Cactaceae, Calophyllaceae,  Caprifoliaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Combretaceae,  Convolvulaceae, Costaceae, Doryanthaceae and Fabaceae  in  detail. The edible species dealt with in this work include  wild and underutilized crops and also common and widely  grown ornamentals. To help in identification of the plant  and edible parts about 200 coloured illustrations are  included. As in the preceeding six volumes, topics covered  include: taxonomy (botanical name and synonyms); common  English and vernacular names; origin and distribution;  agro-ecological requirements; edible plant parts and uses;  plant botany; nutritive, medicinal and pharmacological  properties with up-to-date research findings; traditional  medicinal uses; other non-edible uses; and selected/cited  references for further reading. This volume has separate  indices for scientific and common names; and separate  scientific and medical glossaries.},
