Gardening Latin
If you marvel at the gardening experts on radio and television, who seem to know the scientific names of a bewildering range of plants, or if the same names leave you baffled at garden centres, The Enthusiast's Book of Gardening Latin is the book for you. Written in a style which is informed, but above all accessible, it explains the background to the system of plant classification which is used internationally and shows how this system enables every plant known to man to be readily identifiable through the use of its Latin name. As well as providing a handy overall guide to gardening Latin, this book has the added benefit of listing the Latin names of many of the most popular plant series found in our gardens.
