Interest in potentially new crops is currently high-news of plant sources for such items as processed food protein, rubber, fuel, and pulp appears almost daily. Whereas 25 or 30 major crop plants meet our needs for food, fiber, or shelter, even a partial list of known useful plants cultivated by man in the past, would run over 20 to 30 thousand names.
