OverviewLinum usitatissimum is a widely distributed plant traditionally used as an industrial oil and fiber crop. It is known as linseed in the United Kingdom and flax in North America.

This volume is a comprehensive review of the genus, including the taxonomy, chemistry, cultivation, pharmacology and commercial uses of flax. Written by leading experts, the book will be an invaluable reference for those interested in nutraceuticals, medicinal plants, pharmacy, and agronomy.
