Synopsis:

Predicting which plants will become weeds is difficult, with the single most important indicator of a species weed potential being a documented weedy history.

This larger compendium offers almost 21,000 entries, as well as a comprehensive index containing more than 15,000 alternate scientific names and 27,000 common names in numerous languages. This compendium is specifically designed to give anyone interested in the weed potential of a plant a report on its status with, most importantly, further avenues for finding more information through extensive reference listing.
