In homeopathic botany, the six subclasses of dicotyledons set the tone. Grasses, lilies and orchids from the class of monocotyledons do not fit into this tried-and-tested framework. What links the uniform appearance of grasses with the dazzling world of orchids? What are the homeopathic similarities and distinctive features of these heterogeneous plant orders? Where do they fit within Yakir’s developmental model, within Sankaran’s superclasses, and within Scholten’s plant theory?

Using numerous case studies, this issue of Spektrum aims to highlight the typical characteristics of this remedy class and its orders, as well as the systematic approach to selecting remedies from the perspective of different schools. Join us in looking forward to the overall picture of this often-overlooked group of remedies, which will emerge from the contributions of our renowned international authors.

The first 2027 issue of SPECTRUM, on Monocots, is expected to be published in March.
