The posting below on Herbaria-L alerted me to this book: 

Rios, M., M.J. Koziol, H. Borgtoft Pedersen & G. Granda (Eds.). 2007. Plantas útiles del Ecuador: aplicaciones, retos y perspectivas/Useful plants of Ecuador: Applications, challenges, and perspectives. Corporación Sociedad para la Investigación y Monitoreo de la Biodiversidad Ecuatoriana (SIMBIOE). Quito, Ecuador. 652 pp.
http://www.plantasutilesdeltropico.com/publicaciones/?lang=en
 
I haven't seen the book myself yet, and It does not seem to have been widely reviewed. However, the website, video, and PDF sample, http://www.plantasutilesdeltropico.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/USEFUL-PLANTS-OF-ECUADOR1.pdf  just convinced me to order a copy from Missouri Botanical Garden Press. (The video is only in Spanish, but worth watching even if, like me, you can't understand spoken Spanish.)

I should think that many historians of natural history and especially of medicinal plants, whether or not they have a special interest in Latin America, would be interested. At $33US for 650pp, it's a bilingual bargain.
