This pronouncing dictionary of plant names and botanical terms, with brief definitions, is not intended to be an exhaustive reference volume of horticultural information, as there are already a number of these works that thoroughly cover the field. But it is a handy reference booklet on pronunciation and spelling. That it has met this need is clearly indicated by the sale of several hundred thousand copies in the 27 printings of the dictionary. The brief definitions may assist the average reader in gaining a fuller understanding of plant names, especially in the case of species designations.
