Latin is one of two acceptable languages for describing new plants,
and taxonomists must be able to translate earlier texts in Latin.
Providing a simple explanation of Latin grammar along with an
in-depth vocabulary, this is an indispensable guide for systematic
botanists worldwide. All relevant parts of speech are discussed,
with accompanying examples as well as worked exercises for
translating diagnoses and descriptions to and from Latin.
Guidelines for forming specific epithets are also included. The
authors cross-reference their grammar to Stearn's Botanical Latin
and to articles in the International Code of Nomenclature for
Algae, Fungi and Plants. The comprehensive vocabulary is enhanced
with terms from recent glossaries for non-flowering plants -
lichens, mosses, algae, fungi and ferns - making this an ideal
resource for anyone looking to hone their understanding of Latin
grammar and to translate botanical texts from the past 300 years.
