[PU: Portland (OR): Timber Press], 546 p., 24,8 x 5,1 x 17,1 cm, Original cloth with dust jacket. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A very good and clean copy. - First published in 1966, Botanical Latin has become accepted worldwide as the standard work of reference on this important subject. A comprehensive guide to every aspect of Latin usage in this field, it is an invaluable source of accurate information for gardeners, botanists, scientific historians, systematic etymologists and classical scholars alike. Botanical Latin is an internationally used technical language developed over the past 250 years for the naming and description of plants. In that time, in order to meet the expanding need for accurate scientific descriptions, its vocabulary has been continually enriched with new words, mostly coined from Greek, and with classical Latin words now given precise and particular botanical meanings. It is accepted by horticulturists and botanists everywhere as the medium for naming new plants, and botanical research is almost impossible without reference to standard works and the vast number of first descriptions in Latin - much information is available in no other language. For gardeners, too, a working knowledge of botanical Latin is essential for the accurate identification of plants in the garden. Now in its fourth, completely revised and updated edition, this internationally renowned handbook summarises the grammar and syntax of botanical Latin, and covers the roots and origins of Latin and latinised geographical names, colour terms, symbols and abbreviations, diagnoses and descriptions, the formation of names and epithets, and much more. With an illustrated guide to descriptive terminology in both English and Latin, plus an extensive vocabulary of terms taken from current botanical usage, this is the most accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive book on the subject ever published, and will find a place on every taxonomic botanist and keen gardeners bookshelf. - Bom in 1911, William T. Stearn has been successively Librarian of the Royal Horticultural Societys Lindley Library, a Senior Principal Scientific Officer in the Department of Botany, British Museum (Natural History) and a Visiting Professor in the Department of Botany and Agricultural Botany, University of Reading.

Professor Steam has served on the councils of ten learned societies and has been President of the Linnean Society, the Ray Society and the Garden History Society. He is a Commander of the British Empire and has also received a knighthood from the King of Sweden who made him a Commander of the Order of the Northern Star. He is the author of some 476 publications on botanical, bibliographical and horticultural subjects, many dealing with the taxonomy of plants, and including sixteen complete books, among them Flower Artists ofKew and Dictionary of Plant Names far Gardeners.
