The definitive guide to botanical Latin Unlock the secrets of
botanical Latin with this beautifully illustrated encyclopedia. The
Gardener's Botanical contains definitions of more than 5,000 plant
names-from abbreviatus ("shortened") to zonatus ("with
bands")-along with more than 350 color illustrations. Scientific
plant names are an invaluable tool for those who understand them.
Formed from Greek and, more commonly, from Latin root words, not
only do they make it possible for gardeners and botanists to
communicate, they also contain a wealth of hidden information. The
Gardener's Botanical is the key to unlocking these secrets. This
guide contains a breathtaking array of botanical names in
alphabetical order. Each word is listed with a pronunciation guide,
definition, example plant, and, where appropriate, etymology. Also
included in this illuminating guide are special features on
important plant genera, fact boxes, essays focusing on the history
and importance of Latin names and botanical illustrations, and an
index of common names with more than 2,000 popular plants,
cross-referenced with their binomial name in Latin.
