Adrienne Ziegler was a student in Ingelia White’s Botany 205 ethnopharmacognosy class in Spring 2010 that conducted laboratory research to determine the medicinal values of Honohono orchid.Research results will be published in Ethnopharmacognosy Series III.

Both Botany 199/299 and Botany 205 students created bio-products made from organically grown honohono—grass-tea and cough drops to combat laryngitis; wine and tonic to ease dysentery; topical coagulant powders, cream and soaps to heal cuts.

Adrienne Ziegler was never a student in Ingelia White’s Botany 205 ethnopharmacognosy class that conducted laboratory research to determine the medicinal values of Honohono grass!

It wasn’t independent study students but the Botany 205 students that created bio-products made from organically grown honohono—grass-tea and cough drops to combat laryngitis; wine and tonic to ease dysentery; topical coagulant powders, cream and soaps to heal cuts.
