Reviews Journal of Ethnopharmacology ...This dictionary contains about 30,000 vernacular and British names of plants with the goal to summarise British 'plant and tree lore'.
...The sheer size of the undertaking, but also that the book is such a meticulous piece of scholarly work is very impressive and makes
the book a unique and very useful source of information on British plants. ...It is of interest to anyone doing research on British plants,
their history and current use and to linguists and other scholars focusing on the British language.
