A Little Book of Latin for Gardeners

Autor Peter Parker
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2018
How did the delphinium get its name? Which parts of the body lend their names to auriculas and orchids? Who are the gentian, lobelia and heuchera named after? Why are nasturtiums and antirrhinums connected? What does an everlasting pea have to do with Indian miniature paintings?

These are some of the questions answered in Peter Parker's adventurous exploration of the mysteries of Botanical Latin.

Descriere

The book, beautifully illustrated with old woodcuts, explains how and why plants have been named, includes handy lists of identifying adjectives, and takes the reader down some of the stranger byways of human endeavour and eccentricity.
