Science: The Compendium of Symbolic and Ritual Plants in Europe, the first full modern survey of the role of plants in Europe’s religions, traditions, and medicine, was published in 2003. Previously, information on the subject has been scattered and lacking in botanical rigor, says ethnobotanist Marcel De Cleene of the University of Ghent in Belgium. De Cleene and colleague Marie Claire Lejeune spent 20 years filling the gap. The 1600-page Compendium contains information collected from thousands of texts dating to ancient Roman and Greek times.
