The fella who puts this out is one swell guy. a homeboy (New Jersey, me
from NY) My own personal favorite is Exotica. 
I just re-read and realized I had not answered your question. Hortica
includes outdoor hardy plants, things grown in gardens all over, as well as
exotic and unusual plants. I would not use any of these as a nitty gritty
reference work,, for the reasons given in the previous posting. the double
Exotica is about the best you can do. and I sell them, so I am not flogging
a costly item to you. I think you already have it.
