More than 6000 botanical names, those most frequently encountered by gardeners and horticulturists, are included here, enlightened by a wealth of detail and information, the result of years of research by the author. Also listed are 3000 vernacular names, cross-indexed to their botanical name - an invaluable source for all garden writers and historians. Both the dictionary sections are prefaced by introductions. - from Amzon
