Book.

Foreword Since 1985, lists of the names of nursery crops in the Netherlands have been published in an attempt to acheive uniformity in the nomenclature. The issuing of this fifth revised edition of the "List of Names of Woody Plants" establishes the names to be used in the Netherlands in the period 1995-1999. Many other countries are also gradually realizing the urgent need for uniformity and stability in nomenclature. Hopefully, by providing this edition with a multilingual introduction and by following new scientific insights as responsibly as possible, this national list of names will also be amajor step towards an international list. The Dutch Research Station for Nursery Stock will gladly help prepare such a list. The year 2000 would be a good target publication date.
