Mean nearest taxon distance (MNTD) between species in the Economic Botany Data Collection Standard (EBDCS) level 2 state medicines categories and the category inflammatory response. The category inflammatory response does not show significant phylogenetic similarity with any of the EBDCS categories and thus is sufficiently sensitive to highlight a different group of species, eventually reflecting unexplored medicinal potential not recovered by the EBDCS.
