Many gardeners have a fascination for palnt names and their derivations, but stop short of wanting to study botanical nomenclature in great depth. This book is for them.
Precise naming is essential if we are to identify plants accurately and most gardeners have at least some knowledge of botanical Latin. But a plant's full botanical name does much more than give it a unique label. The name can often tell you where the plant originated, who discovered it, what shape it is, and much else besides. What's more, the name can be used and understood anywhere in the world.
This is a book to have with you at the garden centre, and one to keep beside your bed for an entertaining read. Plant Names Explained makes the subject accessible, enjoyable and fun.
