Description

Wonderfully useful and complete, this little book includes common name cross-references, geographical distribution, and name origins, all at a bargain price. Pronunciations given are decidedly Britannic, but this seems a trivial matter in a book that fills so essential a need so conveniently.

Cross references common names to their Latin counterparts, but also details the origins, meanings, and pronunciation of each name. Excellent book on the subject.

This is an important book for gardeners. A cross-reference of proper (Latin) plant names and their English equivalents. Communication is enhanced when we are all on the same page discussing the same plant. Get this book or one like it.
