Looking for a Book Classification

Is there a book anyone here knows about that lists a few hundred (or thousand) Latin binomials and their translation?

The Gardener’s Botanical by Princeton is so close to what I want, but requires too much flipping back and forth (each Latin name is translated separately).

I understand the Princeton publication eliminated redundancies (and maybe that’s why the type I’m looking for is possibly non-existent) but I feel that having each plant name’s genus defined followed by a list of species (name and translation) within said genus would aid with understanding.

Any ideas? Do I at least make sense? Amateur here :)

Something like this! But for a much larger selection.

Maybe all wild edibles, or all northeastern wildflowers, etc.?
