On CD the main text, presented in dictionary format, covers over 3000 pages. It is preceded by Contents, Introduction and an extensive list of Definitions of Botanical Names and is followed by a Bibliography and an over 300-page comprehensive General Index.

The alphabetic presentation of botanical and common names (regardless of language) enables the reader not only to find the species concerned quickly but also to see at a glance those occasions identified on which a botanical or common name applies to more than one species. The genera themselves are integrated into the dictionary too and within each genus those of its species for which there are entries appear in similar order.

The General Index gives the reader the great advantage of a highly refined searching tool embracing detailed breakdowns of and access via nationalities, tribes, religions, individuals and most disciplines, including any alternative names by which these and the many subjects might be known. On this Website, in the section ‘What is Plant Biographies?’, you will find an extract from the 2006 General Index which illustrates its comprehensive nature – plus examples of Subjects Covered which are not necessarily shown in this extract.

The CD is updated periodically and notice of a new edition will be broadcast on this Website.
