The economic plant collection includes plants that
are useful to humans, and is found in beds 41 to 90. Different beds
are devoted to specific categories of plant products or usefulness.
Refer to the tall labels to identify the category on display. These
categories range from medicinal plants to poisonous plants and those
that cause other injuries; from fiber plants used to make textiles and
other products to plants that yield natural dyes; from aromatic plants
used to make perfumes to oil plants and herbs; from wild and cultivated
forms of vegetables to the many weeds that infest our crops and landscapes.
