Having an understanding of botanical Latin unlocks an entirely new
layer of the plant world. Gardeners deciding between a Crocus
flavus and Crocus graveolens will know that one produces deep
yellow flowers while the other boasts a prominent smell. They can
tell whether a plant should have one (unifolius), two (diphyllus),
or even nine leaves (enneaphyllus). And they can catch the nods to
Sir Joseph Banks in Cordyline banksia and Queen Victoria in Agave
victoriae-reginae. A Portable Latin for Gardeners is the perfect
quick reference for working in the garden, shopping for plants, or
doing botanical research--and no prior knowledge of Latin is
required. The 1,500 terms are grouped by categories, making it easy
to describe color, size, form, habitat, scent, taste, and time.
Gardeners will make new connections and discoveries in a way
standard alphabetical lists simply don't allow. Alternately,
gardeners who want to look up a particular term can jump right into
the alphabetical index. Each entry includes the different forms of
the term, a basic pronunciation guide, the definition, and an
example plant species. Rich botanical illustrations make this guide
as beautiful as it is useful, while a durable flexi-bound cover
means the book can withstand both days in the garden and evenings
on the nightstand.
