Plant Families: Chinese and Western Herbal Comparison Chart

I created an Excel list of commonly used Chinese and Western herbs, arranged by plant family, in an effort to better seek and observe patterns between both. You can edit the Google doc, so you're welcome to add or edit info, or just enjoy. As always, I would love your feedback. Please note that I'm just beginning my second (2 of 4) year of CM school, and so all of my CM understandings are still rapidly evolving, and quite basic. I'm still much more of a western herbalist. But, this list is straightforward. Thanks! Happy new year.
