| Publisher Description: Almost 250 years ago, the Swedish botanist Carl von Linn published Species Plantarum and binomial nomenclature was born. This systematic approach to naming plants (and animals) is still the universally-recognized system used today. While many gardeners struggle with "Latin names" of plants, knowing a plant's botanical name allows you to converse with gardeners all over the world. This dictionary contains over 17,000 terms - both scientific and common with definitions. The definitions are excerpted from our site, www.wordsrus.info which is derived from Wordnet created by Princeton University. This dictionary is available in a number of languages. While the Latin names of plants are generally not translated across languages, the common or local name varies from area to area. |
