520			_a"The Folk-lore of Plants" by T. F. Thiselton-Dyer is a scholarly exploration of the relationships between plants and folklore traditions, written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the myriad of beliefs, superstitions, and cultural narratives surrounding various plants, illustrating how deeply intertwined botanical life is with human culture and mythology. The author seeks to provide a systematic summary of these ideas, making the volume a handy reference for those interested in the folk-lore associated with the vegetable kingdom. The beginning of the book introduces the reader to the concept that plants, like humans and animals, are perceived to possess life and spirit. This notion is examined through various cultural beliefs, such as the Ojibway's belief that trees have souls and the reverence given to certain plants in rituals and ceremonies across different societies. This opening sets the stage for further exploration into specific aspects of plant folklore including plant worship, superstitions, and medicinal uses, each chapter promising to illuminate the rich tapestry of connections between humans and the plant world.
