Complete Index of Common Names:

Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607)

by Nancy Ross

Preface Since it was published in 1984, Tropical Timbers of the World has proven to be
an extremely valuable reference to the properties and uses of tropical woods. It
has been particularly valuable for the selection of species for specific products
and as a reference for properties information that is important to effective pro-
cessing and utilization of several hundred of the most commercially important
tropical wood timbers.

If a user of the book has only a common or trade name for a species and wishes
to know its properties, the user must use the index of common names beginning
on page 451. However, most tropical timbers have numerous common or trade
names, depending upon the major region or local area of growth; furthermore,
different species may be know by the same common name.

Herein lies a minor weakness in Tropical Timbers of the World. The index
generally contains only the one or two most frequently used common or trade
names. If the common name known to the user is not one of those listed in the
index, finding the species in the text is impossible other than by searching the
book page by page. This process is too laborious to be practical because some
species have 20 or more common names.

This supplement provides a complete index of common or trade names. This

index will prevent a user from erroneously concluding that the book does not
contain a specific species because the common name known to the user does not
happen to be in the existing index.
