Plantas Uteis e Medicinais na obra de Frei Vellozo. 2nd r ev. & augmented ed. 2019. illus.(col.). 150 . gr8vo. Ringbinder. - in Portuguese, with Latin nomenclature.

In this second edition, data and images of 130 species of useful and medicinal plants are presented, described by Frei Veliozo in his work Florae Fluminensis, completed in 1790. The information described by Vellozo is primary, that is, it was collected at a time when the native vegetation was preserved and the plants used extensively by the population. Information on current scientific research results obtained from the pubmed website was also added, both for the 50 new species and for the others already present in the previous edition. The common names of the plants, spelled in Portuguese, were also updated, such as the "Souta horses" which was renamed 'Açoita-cavalos' The Amerindian names of the plants, on the other hand, were kept in the original form, thus respecting the spelling inserted by the author, who carefully distinguished them from common Portuguese names ("lusitano" or "brasileiro").

The first part of the catalog presents general information about the importance of Brazilian biodiversity, and the methods used by scientists to transform plants into value-added products. A following chapter discusses Frei Vellozo and his work Florae Fluminensis, object of the present study. Data and images, old and current, of the plants are then presented, accompanied by their common and scientific names, botanical families and the origin of each species (native or exotic).
