About the Author
Ethnobotanist Beatrice H. Krauss enriched the lives of innumerable people through her research, teaching, writing, and volunteer service. The first woman to earn a degree in agriculture from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, she later taught ethnobotany there and received several awards. Krauss was a plant physiologist and morphologist at the Pineapple Research Institute for 42 years, and a staff member at the Lyon Arboretum for 15 years. She founded the Manoa Valley History Project, served as president of the Hawaiian Botanical Society, and received awards from the Historic Hawaii Foundation and the Hawaii Pacific Gerontological Society. She completed the manuscript for Plants in Hawaiian Medicine shortly before her death in March 1998 at the age of 94.
Review
"Beatrice Krauss was a beloved ethnobotanist who spent a great deal of her lifetime studying Hawaiian plants and their uses.... Each of the 30 plants covered here has its own chapter with a nicely consistent set of information for each one. Included for each plant are: notes on the plant family, ecosystem and the history of its arrival in Hawai'i; a physical description and drawing; general (non-medicinal) uses; ancient uses and contemporary uses." - Hawaii Island Journal"
