From alpines to trees and shrubs, and from herbs to wild flowers, this dictionary covers the vast spectrum of plant types, concentrating on those most frequently purchased from nurseries and garden centres in the UK and North America. The book is in two parts: the first lists the botanical names and then gives the common names, and the second section lists the common names and cross-refers to the botanical names. An explanation of the origin of botanical names and a list of useful and interesting Web sites are also included.
- Easy to convert common names into their botanical equivalents and vice versa – a quick reference aid for the garden enthusiast and plant lover.
- Listing of common epithets – to identify plants from their names.
- Both UK and North American common names included – a comprehensive listing of common names in use.
- Pocket-sized format – easy to carry with you when visiting the garden centre.
