This is the 2017 revision and supersedes all previous volumes in this series. More than 1600 cultivars of Coleus blumei, Coleus rehneltianus, and the hybrid Coleus x hybridus have been named since the middle of the 19th century. The International Coleus Society took up the cataloging and registration of all these cultivars when we started in 2013 using the existing files of the New Ornamentals Society and our numerous expert members. This volume provides descriptions to more about 95% of the cultivars beginning with the letter A and ending in F and includes screen-wide high-resolution digital images of modern cultivars, color plates from old catalogs, and scans of other nursery listings back to 1851 and including some 2017 introductions. This 224 page volume is just the beginning in our never ending goal to understand the genus Coleus and document it's history in gardens. Hundreds of hours of study, pouring over old catalogs, literature, garden records, patents, cultivar release notifces, and the memories of modern Coleus experts went into this presentation. Only cultivars from A to F are included. Cultivars of G to Z will be offered as separate volumes in the future.

The book entitled 'CURRENT TRENDS IN COLEUS AROMATICUS' is a collection of diverse medicinal aspects of advanced research on Coleus Aromaticus. This provides a comprehensive coverage of different trends, which is an outlook for research & development for plant biologists and researchers. The book summarized information concerning the occurrence and current status, botanical description, propagation, cultivation, production and export prospects in India, medicinal applications, ethno-pharmacological applications & indigenous uses, phytochemistry, biological activities and role of plant biotechnological approaches in conservation of C. Aromaticus for sustainable utilization, production & enhancement of secondary metabolites. The objective of this book is to provide comprehensive scientific information to a reader about the prevalent medicinal properties of the plant COLEUS AROMATICUS. Current usage of contemporary medicines and their ultimate economic impact solely due to their long term side effects are harshly evident. Now, it is necessary to support application of alternative medicines for common diseases. Reliance on plant based medicines should increase pertaining to long term successful history, ease of accessibility and much lower prices, relatively. We believe that the content of the book will inspire readers to broaden their research interests, and encourage more widespread use of this high value medicinal plant.

When the International Coleus was founded several years ago, we immediately became devoted to cataloging not only new cultivars but fully studying the older material. Today we have over 1584 different named cultivars on file. This volume is Part II of the our new Consolidated Cultivar Reference, covering both detailed descriptions, histories, identification tips, and large (1000-1250 pixel wide) high-resolution digital images. Part II covers cultivars P to Z and covers 210 pages with more than 43.7 megabytes of content. We also have more scanned nursery catalogs from the past to document the history of the old or heirloom clones. Hundreds of hours of society member time was required to produce each volume.

This monograph compiles updated information about forskolin, a labdane diterpene that is produced by the Coleus plant. Forskolin has a large number of practical uses and the book delves into the various aspects of this chemical. It includes topics such as the botanical source of forskolin and the cultivation of Coleus forskohlii, source. It also covers the biosynthetic pathways in natural sources and also through different biotechnological applications. Chapters include the potential and products in the Forskolin market. The book also covers the methods for enhanced production of forskolin from natural sources and through tissue culture methods for improvement of the plant for higher content of forskolin. It discusses the role of endophytes in the production of forskolin. The book is useful for students and researchers in the field of botany, pharmacology and biochemistry. It also serves scientists in various pharmaceutical industries.

Written as a reference to be used within University, Departmental, Public, Institutional, Herbaria, and Arboreta libraries, this book provides the first starting point for better access to data on medicinal and poisonous plants. Following on the success of the author's CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names and the CRC World Dictionary of Grasses, the author provides the names of thousands of genera and species of economically important plants. It serves as an indispensable time-saving guide for all those involved with plants in medicine, food, and cultural practices as it draws on a tremendous range of primary and secondary sources. This authoritative lexicon is much more than a dictionary. It includes historical and linguistic information on botany and medicine throughout each volume.
