Abstract
The arid regions of the world and their native flora remain a largely unexplored frontier in the search for new plant chemicals. This search has been revived in recent years because, in addition to the scientific gains to be made through the study of the production and ecological significance of plant secondary metabolites, many of these compounds have practical value as well.
