Herbal Formularies by Dr. Jill Stansbury Written by an M.D, if that's the road you want to go on. This is definitely a formulary for a physician, and is one of my favorite formularies to peruse. Note that there are three books in this series, not just this one.
You may also look for some phytochemistry texts such as Yarnell's Phytochemistry and Pharmacy for Practitioners of Botanical Medicine, but that list should be sufficient for your purposes I think.
If you should want to include any thing about classical herbalism, I'd highly recommend Matthew Wood's Earthwise Herbal, Vol. I and II. Absolutely delightful read into the classical systems of herbalism. Also, I have more books aside from the ones mentioned here; if you need any further suggestions please don't hesitate to ask!
>I would also be interested in your top five medicinal wild plants (from anywhere) - the ones you think really do work, and are the most useful.
The list is far too long, because a great deal of plants do work. If you asked me to pick five, which I can't do, I'd pick elderberries, yarrow, ghost pipe, and toothache plant just because it's a dear favorite of mine. Milk thistle otherwise!
