Product Information

This book documents the historical problems associated with an ever-increasing number of commonly-named plants and the resolution of these problems through the introduction of International Codes for both botanical and horticultural nomenclature. The second part of the book comprises an alphabetical glossary of generic and specific plant names and their components, from which the reader may interpret the existing names of plants and construct new names. The third edition includes explanations of the International Codes for both Botanical Nomenclature (2000) and Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (1995). The expanded glossary incorporates many more commemorative names. Previous Edition Hb (1989): 0-521-36668-2 Previous Edition Pb (1989): 0-521-36675-5

'The entire book is written in such a way that a person with limited botanical background can understand it, yet it does not come across as trivial or boring to the professional ... The book is excellent.' William J. Crins, The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 'A remarkably useful and interesting little book ... should be on the bookshelf of every biologist.’Biological Conservation, '... this book is an essential reference source, enabling a greater appreciation of the origins and definitions of some of the words in our own language, as well as satisfying our curiosity about the meanings of the names that we apply to plants, and often providing us with additional descriptive information helpful in taxonomy.’Terence A. Smith, Annals of Botany, '... thoroughly recommended as a scholarly and carefully produced guide to plant names and meanings.' Countryside, '... this book is an essential reference source, enabling a greater appreciation of the origins and definitions of some of the words in our own language, as well as satisfying our curiosity about the meanings of the names that we apply to plants, and often providing us with additional descriptive information helpful in taxonomy.' Terence A. Smith, Annals of Botany, 'It is lucid, concise, neither patronising nor lofty, and just the right book for those who are overawed by, or hostile to, a very reasonable means of communication.' Desmond Meikle, The Kew Magazine, 'A remarkably useful and interesting little book ... should be on the bookshelf of every biologist.'Biological Conservation, 'The entire book is written in such a way that a person with limited botanical background can understand it, yet it does not come across as trivial or boring to the professional … The book is excellent.'

Smith, Annals of Botany, ' ... a thoroughly scholarly work which also manages to maintain enough of the common touch to appeal to a wide variety of readers. The glossary, especially, is a treasure house of precise information as well as odd facts which range the world as the plant hunters once did.' Herald Express, 'It is lucid, concise, neither patronising nor lofty, and just the right book for those who are overawed by, or hostile to, a very reasonable means of communication.'Desmond Meikle, The Kew Magazine, 'A remarkably useful and interesting little book … should be on the bookshelf of every biologist.' Biological Conservation, '... thoroughly recommended as a scholarly and carefully produced guide to plant names and meanings.’Countryside, "...I judge a book, mostly, by how much I learn from it. And I learned a lot from this one." Systematic Botany, 'A remarkably useful and interesting little book ... should be on the bookshelf of every biologist.' Biological Conservation, ' … a thoroughly scholarly work which also manages to maintain enough of the common touch to appeal to a wide variety of readers. The glossary, especially, is a treasure house of precise information as well as odd facts which range the world as the plant hunters once did.' Herald Express, "The author has done an excellent job of creating a...very readable text...perfect for students...This small book holds an incredible amount of information...a handy reference for anyone learning about plants...Understanding the history behind the rules of nomenclature should help the professional, student, and gardener alike to comprehend why plants are named the way they are and why the names may change. I have already recommended the book to my classes in plant identification...It has been well received." Horticultural Science, '... thoroughly recommended as a scholarly and carefully produced guide to plant names and meanings.'Countryside, From the reviews of previous editions:'The introductory section is a lucid and lively account of a sometimes complex topic. The list of terms is largely comprehensive and the translations clear. Obviously a work which will prove particularly valuable for botanical and horticultural collections, this will also be of interest in some language collections as evidence of how a 'dead' language can be resuscitated and so survive, adapting to specialist needs.'Reference Reviews, '… this book is an essential reference source, enabling a greater appreciation of the origins and definitions of some of the words in our own language, as well as satisfying our curiosity about the meanings of the names that we apply to plants, and often providing us with additional descriptive information helpful in taxonomy.'
