Numbers in this index designate the pages on which reference is made, in the text, to the plant in question. No reference is made in the index to plant names included in the titles that appear in the reference lists. In general, where a plant has been referred to in the text sometimes by common name, sometimes by its scientific name, all such references are listed in the index after the scientific name;
cross reference is made, under the common name, to this scientific name. However, in a few instances when a common name as used cannot be referred with certainty to a particular species, the page numbers follow the common name.
