Exclamation Carb counter conflicts

Well, I am wondering what you all can tell me bout this. In Atkins NDR, there is a carb counter at the front and back of the book. There are some descrepencies.
The counter at the back of the book says:

Back: Front:
6 cauliflower florets: 1.5g 4.4g
1/2 cup broccoli: 1.7g 3.9g

This is there for most of them. The only thing I have noticed is that in the back of the book, is shows "total carbs" and "digestible carbs", the ones Atkins says to follow. In the front counter it only has one listing, and that seems to be the "total carbs". I have been following the carb counter at the back of the book but am afraid I made a boo-boo. Has anyone else noticed this?
PS-What is a floret? Is that the stem and the little tree? we always called broccoli "trees" and cauliflower "snow trees" when I was a kid, so I am lost.
