Abstract
A brief review of the history of development of Chinese pharmacognosy and its application to gynecology and obstetrics is presented. An evaluation system is introduced for short-listing some potentially useful anti-fertility plants. Twenty such plants are listed in order of priority according to our evaluation system. Brief descriptions of botancy, phytochemistry and reputed biological effects are provided. It is hoped that this article may provide an impetus for the development of new anti-fertility agents.Keywords
