HerbRally has over 60 lengthy, beautifully written monographs, by many different highly esteemed herbalists. We add more to this list each month, so be sure to check back often! Our goal is to get many different voices to contribute, so you can learn about these plants (and sometimes mushrooms) from a variety of perspectives. Each person and plant tell a different story. If you’re interested in contributing a monograph, please feel free to contact us.
If you don’t know what a monograph is, basically, it’s an extensive compilation of information about one particular plant. This includes bioregion, ethnobotany, botany, medicinal uses, stories, and much more. Check out all of the monographs in alphabetical order below (by common name). Enjoy!
