This list was seeded (ha ha) from The American Horticultural Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants. Stan 02:53, 5 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I dont understand the necessity of this page. Should it just be renamed "giant arbitrary list of plant genera"? If I start adding a list of bryophytes that ive managed to cultivate and encourage in my garden is it still relevant? I definitely agree, as suggested below, that at least a sentence or two describing the plants would be good and make this article useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.20.82.228 (talk) 06:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Huge page - is it time to split it up by individual letters, or at least into four pages A-C, D-K, L-Q, R-Z? - MPF 14:55, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC) Doesn't seem that big to me... :-) It's not likely to get many additional entries, although it would be good to have more annotation-type text for each entry ("popular tropical succulents", etc) so that readers can get some idea of where they'll end up when they click on the link. Four pages is probably about right; it's a major pain in the posterior to manage the cross links between lots of little sublist pages. Stan 16:19, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I put Acca back, because even if it's only a synonym, it needs to be in the list at its usual alphabetic position, so that someone who doesn't know it's a synonym can find it. Especially given the brokenness of WP search machinery, indexes like this are often the only reliable way to find something by name. Stan 00:49, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Hi, guys! This is the first time I've ever left a message in this WikiProject. I was wondering that if we could change the names of the "plant list". I mean that the scientific name is interesting but this might be confusing the people. For example, I've seen the scientific name in the list that says Tanacetum (tansy). This can be right but there are also other plants with different names but the same scientific name since the feverfew herb is also in the tanacetum family. Do you guys get what I mean?

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Index of flowers with entries in the Wikipedia. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Regards, SONIC678 17:51, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
While this list comes from an authoritative source on the subject of gardening, it's just a single source, and I suspect its authors would admit to some subjectivity (and print page limits!) in the choice of what to include. When created, there were a lot of red links needing articles, but that's mostly filled in now. Googling shows a number of random gardening-related websites suggesting this list as a starting point for finding out more about specific types, but I didn't try to determine if they were popular, new, old, etc. That purpose could be equally well served by redirecting to Category:garden plants (this list is so old, it predates the category system), and that way we don't break incoming links.
