Common names of a selected list of plants

"Common Names of a Selected List of Plants" by Kling L. Anderson is a specialized guide that confronts the widespread confusion surrounding plant names. It examines the everyday names of numerous plant types and grapples with the lack of consistency that can hinder clear communication. The authors try to develop a uniform listing to improve how people talk about and understand plants, particularly in farming and learning. From the beginning, it is clear that plant names can be problematic due to regional differences and multiple names for the same plant. The need for scientific names for precise identification is expressed, especially in formal settings. This book seeks to standardize common names for plants commonly found in Kansas, detailing the methods used to choose plants and create a list of names.
