Alien woody plants are more versatile than native, but both share similar therapeutic redundancy in South Africa.
Understanding why alien plant species are incorporated into the medicinal flora in several local communities is central to invasion biology and ethnobiology. Theories suggest that alien plants are incorporated in local pharmacopoeias because they are more versatile or contribute unique secondary che...
