USDA World Timbers Common Names Database
http://www2.fpl.fs.fed.us/CommNames2000.html

 
A Database of Common Names for World Timbers by Regis B. Miller, USDA Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, USA and J. Ilic, CSIRO, Clayton, Australia
The information in this comprehensive database will be of great value to users of wood and wood products and others who rely on scientific names as a key to reliable information on wood properties. The database contains approximately 30,000 unique botanical names and 130,000 common names including the corresponding botanical family name, synonyms, geographic origin, and links to technical data sheets if one is available. Many species, particularly those from the tropical countries are known by several local or common names and some unrelated species also share the same common name. The database will help to resolve such problems and provide more reliable information on the woods.
