In your study of herbalism you will often come across Plant Monographs, or plant profiles. Throughout history and across cultures, herbalists have often kept a journal of the plants they use with a page of information for each. These are typically a visual representation of the plant (an illustration or photograph) with basic information about the plants common names, Latin names, origin, habitat, properties and uses, and further notes. You may have seen historical botanical illustrations similar to this, with the plant illustration and structure and Latin name. 

In the Herbal Materia Medica Course we are guiding you to create your own book of Plant Monographs (called a Materia Medica) by studying 5 plants in depth, and recording your plant information into the monograph format. This will teach you what is important to study and the benefits of learning one plant at a time, in depth.
