I have a book called Dictionary of Plant Names by Allen J. Coombes published
by Timber Press, Portland, Oregon. 1994.  It lists both botanical and common
names, the common ones say "see..."
        
Of course it does not cover all plants and is more for garden than indoor
plants.  I found Kohleria listed but not Nematanthus. 

A good little book as far as it goes and not expensive.
