The vernacular names of plants have been used for a long time toascertain their authentic scientific names; but as these are generallyfound in costly publications the necessity for the handbook to correlatethe local with the botanical names had been felt for a long time. It istherefore very gratifying to note that this book has been brought outwith an exhaustive list of plants both indigenous and exhaustive andwith short notes on their uses. The appendix at the end also serves as avery useful guide to plant utilisation.
