Recenzii

“Fascinating profiles, gorgeous illustrations, and fun stories about the figures featured in plant names.”

"In In the Name of Plants Knapp has shown us how thoughtful botanists have
said it with flowers (and gymnosperms, ferns, and mosses). Not so much plants and
people as people in plants, this charming book embodies the essence of plants-and-
people and is a welcome addition to that important botanical literary genre."

"Diversity and environmental conservation inform the 30 alphabetically arranged entries, each one revealing the namesake for a particular plant genus. . . .  enjoy this delightful learning experience."
