there is so much more also like elderberry, always get a field guide until you know what your doing and what plants because it does get very overwhelming when you get in the field. peterson field guide makes a good book with color pics, and there are so many others tom brown jr's, wild edible and medicinal plants tells stories of the plants that he has used in his life and adds a more personal touch to the normal scientific books. there is also a website www. mountainroseherbs.com that sells alot of the herbs and also the seeds so you can grow them at home. the webpage will give you the plant and the uses.
have fun and be careful
