Cryptobotany is the study of plants which are not currently known to science, but which may have living examples.
In many old reports of each culture, there are reports of plants, used for healing purposes, whose species is unknown. In China 2500 plants are described for medical uses, but cannot be identified as existing plants . There are also numerous rumours about man-eating trees.
