Novel Approach to Classify Plants Based on Metabolite-Content Similarity

Table 1

Taxonomic and use information of 216 plants. Group ID, plant names, taxonomic ranks (family), and economic uses are mentioned in consecutive columns. Economic uses of plants are represented as the following abbreviations: E (edible), M (medicinal), L (landscaping,), T (timber), P (poisonous), and W (wild plant). Some plants are both edible and medicinal and are annotated as E/M.
