WELCOME to the third volume of Ethnobotanical Leaflets. In this edition you'll find a number of new subject areas worth exploring, including recent contributions to our Web Journal. Under this heading will be found various short articles and research notes of general interest to our readers. This issue features in Ethno-News an introduction to Agriboard, lumber made from non-timber cellulose. In our Policy Corner is an editorial urging policy makers to combine economic botany and restoration ecology when looking for solutions to economic and environmental problems. Galleria Botanica is back, featuring work by artist Emil Huston, photographs by Distinguished Economic Botanist Carlos Ochoa, and a special link to the illustrations of Hermann Kohler's herbal. Please note the new links in Online Economic Botany Resources. As always, contributions from our readers will be welcomed.
