We are beginning to build this index, but at present it is very incomplete.
Common and botanical names are mixed in the same alphabet. Two-word common names are often listed twice: for example, Common Speedwell will be found under “Common Speedwell” and “Speedwell (Common).” We hope this arrangement makes things easier to find, but we also thought it might allow some interesting comparisons of common names.
