P.M.E. Williams spent a lifetime recording the use of plant material for medicinal purposes by Maori. He makes no recommendations but indicates which plants were used for various problems, colourfully interspersing his notes with anecdotal evidence. He had a long association with the Ngapuhi people and it has been from them that he learnt about Maori medicines and their importance.
