The Names of Plants is an invaluable reference for botanists and horticulturalists. Thefirst section gives an historical account of the significant changes in the ways bywhich plants have been known and named. It documents the problems associatedwith an ever-increasing number of common names of plants, and the resolution ofthese problems through the introduction of International Codes for both botanicaland horticultural nomenclature. It also outlines the rules to be followed whenplant breeders name a new species or cultivar of plant.The second section comprises a glossary of generic and specific plant names, andcomponents of these, from which the reader may interpret the existing names ofplants and construct new names. With explanations of the International Codes forboth Botanical Nomenclature and Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, this newedition contains a greatly expanded glossary, which includes the Greek, Latin, orother source of each plant name.
