I read one a couple of years ago about Native American ethnobotany, and really enjoyed it. I can’t remember the name, but I found it at the public library. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
I think most people won’t even know the meaning of ethnobotany. I give you a star for making me think.
Don’t look for things listed under ethnobotany. It’s a rather academic term which is why they’re all textbooks. I took an online ethnobotany course and our courseware was a smattering of readings, mostly from popular science books.
Be creative with search terms. Ethnobotany’s a huge field (and difficult to define), so look for your personal interests. For example, searching for plant histories will probably yield you better results if that’s something you’re interested in.
Some good examples (IMO), digging out my old courseware…
Michael Pollan (e.g. Botany of Desire)
Sandra Knapp (e.g. Plant Discoveries)
Henry Hobhouse (e.g. Seeds of Change)
Barbara Kingsolver (e.g. Small Wonder)
Might not be what you’re looking for (depends on what you’re interested in and what you define as ethnobotany!) but hopefully it helps.
