The Names of Plants is an invaluable reference for botanists and
horticulturalists. The first section gives an historical account of
the significant changes in the ways that plants have been known and
named. It documents the problems associated with an ever-increasing
number of common names of plants, and the resolution of these
problems through the introduction of International Codes for both
botanical and horticultural nomenclature. It also outlines the
rules to be followed when plant breeders name a new species or
cultivar. The second section comprises a glossary of generic and
specific plant names, and components of these, from which the
reader may interpret the existing names of plants and construct new
names. With explanations of the International Codes for both
Botanical Nomenclature (2000) and Nomenclature for Cultivated
Plants (1995), this edition contains a greatly expanded glossary,
which includes the Greek, Latin, or other source of each plant
name.
