There are many collective nouns for animals, called "terms of venery" but, until now, very few for plants. This book is an entirely tongue-in-cheek attempt to remedy that situation. Illustrated with well-over 200 photos (it's best viewed on readers that can display color), each one bearing a "term of vegery" that is often a snarky (and generally awful) pun, and -- whenever possible -- the exact botanical name of the pictured plant. While these scientific names are as accurate as we could make them, the authors are certain that the five chapter names (Splendifera, Edibilia, Inedibilia, Utilitaria, and Untouchabilia) will never be found in any legitimate botanical text. The scientific community may now breathe a collective sigh of relief (and roll their eyes meaningfully toward their choice of heaven, the troposphere, or that weird stain on the ceiling).
