Well I know a few you do not have, but some of them have the same uses.
-Coltsfoot= A flowering plant, a bit like dandelion, with yellow or white flowers. The leaves can be chewed into a pulp, which helps shortness of breath.
-Dried oak leaf= Collected in autumn and stored in a dry place. Stops infection.
-Goldenrod= A tall plant with bright yellow flowers. A poultice of this is terrific for healing open wounds.
-Horsetail= A tall plant with bristly stems that grow in marshy areas. the leaves can be used to treat infected wounds. Usually chewed up and applied as a poultice.
-Lavender= A small purple flowering plant that cures fevers.
-Stinging Nettle= Even though you all ready have Nettle, this stinging one is a bit different. -This spiny green seeds can be givin to a cat who's swallowed poison. Also the leaves of this plant can bring down swelling.
-Tansy= A strong-smelling plant with round yellow flowers. Good for curing coughs, but must be tooken in small doses. If you already have one of these, Im sorry, I must of missed it in your list.

Eh, well, when I wrote this list, I was trying to use the words the cats used. I have no time to correct the list, but I think some of those I do have, but the cats don't use the words humans use. Like Milkweed and borage...I dunno. I think ppl will find those very useful!
