German term or phrase: heimischer Wild- und Kulturpflanzen

I'm stumped as to how to translate this part of a title. I just need a basic translation for a bibliography. (The book has not been translated into English, but I want to provide an English equivalent for a bibliography.)

The full title of the book is: Zauberpflanzen, Hexenkräuter: Mythos und Magie heimischer Wild- und Kulturpflanzen.

I've got it up to the last part of the subtitle. "Native Wild and Cultivated Plants"? "Native Wild" just seems awkward in English. Any suggestions?
