Dictionary of plant names

To understand botanical plant names, their derivation, meaning and pronunciation, is to add greatly to one's enjoyment of gardening generally. This fascinating dictionary provides such enlightenment, dealing, as it does, with a vast number of plants in cultivation and likely to be encountered. Botanical plant names are one thing, common plant names another, and if the first are the essential and universally accepted means of identification, the second can often be greatly entertaining. A very large number of these are listed alphabetically with their botanical equivalents.
