A checklist of names for 3,000 vascular plants of economic importance has produced an expanded new publication by CRC Press entitled World Economic Plants: a standard reference. This reference provides current data in a concise and readily accessible format for nearly 10,000 vascular plants important in the global economy. For each name important synonyms, multilingual common names, economic uses, and geographical distribution are given. Over 150 selected specialists were consulted to achieve the most current and accurate information.
