Scientific names of common garden plants in Malaysia an eBook by Kenneth Ng

This eBook is the result of a little project in my school to label the plants around the school compound as an effort to raise awareness in biodiversity and also scientific names of plants. I am making it available online, to all teachers who may find it useful. Disclaimer: I am not a botanist or taxonomist. The information in this book is ‘to my best knowledge’ basis based on macro picture comparison from my research from online resources. I would appreciate feedback about any errors that may be found in this ebook. Kenneth Ng SMK Kolombong Kota Kinabalu cikguken@gmail.com 3 May 2007
