Description:

Confusion invariably arises when we attempt to select the preferred common name of a particular weed in Canada because the common, or vernacular, name often differs from one region to another or even changes with time. Sometimes the same name is used for two or more different weeds. Common and Scientific Names of Weeds in Canada provides a comprehensive list of preferred common names for weeds in both official languages to encourage uniformity in extension literature and in the labelling of herbicides. This edition adds a number of species to the previous list, bringing the number of taxa treated to 1130.

Contents:

English and French common names, families and Bayer Codes of weeds listed alphabetically by scientific name
Scientific and French common names and Bayer Codes of weeds listed alphabetically by English common name
Scientific and English common names and Bayer Codes of weeds listed alphabetically by French common name
Scientific names and English and French common names of weeds listed alphabetically by Bayer Code

Common and Scientific Names of Weeds in Canada will be of interest to writers and translators of material pertaining to weeds, as well as botanists, farmers, and gardeners.

Note: Previous 1992 edition was titled Common and Botanical Names of Weeds in Canada.
