Answer 1

actually medications developed from plants include aspirin (willow bark) Taxol (Yew, treats cancer), Chantix (golden rain tree, used in smoking cessation), quinine, Digoxin/digitoxin/digitalis (foxglove, used in CHF) and probably others. Granted, most of these drugs are synthetically developed since the amount in a plant is too low to be therapeutic, but that is their origin.
