I'm always on the lookout for good herbalism and gardening books, and Patricia Talesco's The Herbal Arts: A Handbook of Plant Magic, Folklore, Recipes, Spells, & Charms fits the bill. The Herbal Arts is a three chapter (chapter three is a comprehensive list of plants) primer for readers who are just getting into herbalism as well as an excellent reference book.
