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