How funny, considering how posonious it is! Antirrhinum latifolium,

and all their equivalent. That would be a treat for me )

"Butterfly bush" in the UK is a common name for buddliea.

(snip)

Buddleja and Buddleia are both accepted spellings (so far as I know);
and the pronunciation is the same. I don't write or think Buddleja
because I think it's a clumsy word shape, though at least it should
remind me that the E comes after the L :-)

But that's not what you wrote. You wrote buddliea, twice )

Here's the Amazon U.K link to all three editions 2003 -2000
including links to secondhand copies - prices from £20 s/h to
£35 new

Buying secondhand through Amazon marketplace can be handy as
all dealers who list through them, use a flat postage charge
per book, in the UK anyway which is handy for heavier books.
Amazon have a feedback system of sorts for their listing dealers,
which ABE don't. If you pay using a credit card then you always
have the option of a charge-back in case of any real problems


Here's the description and synopsis of the 2003 edition from Amazon -

quote

Hardcover 990 pages (January 1, 2003)
Publisher: Plant P.
ISBN: 1903257093
Category(ies): Science & Nature

Synopsis
This classic reference work now in its 17th edition defines current plant
nomenclature and the correct classification of vascular plants. Now
available in a tri-lingual version with introductory sections in English,
German and French. In all about 3,600 genera with 20,000 species and 10,000
cross-referenced synonyms are described. The Author's names are abbreviated
according to Brummitt & Powell: The Authors of Plant Names published by the
Royal Botanic Garden, Kew. Zander includes the most important plants grown
and collected in Central Europe. There is an almost complete listing of
native species found in Central European in this edition. Comprehensive
lists of English, German and French common names are now a feature of this
extensive reference work.

Not the same small secondhand bookshops who are being put out
of business by home based part-timers who list on ABE, by any
chance ?

As it happens the top listing on both ABE and Amazon is Halcyon
Books, which offer their copy for £20 on both cases. While two
out of the four ABE offerings are in Germany in any case.
