What is Gardener’s Latin : a lexicon about?
'The binomial system used for Latin botanical names was developed in the 18th century by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus. His highly organized nomenclature allows gardeners to identify significant characteristics of each species, with such descriptions as very fragrant (fragrantissimus), late-flowering (tardiflorus) or growing in a salty habitat (halophilus) offering clues to a plants suitability for particular locations. This glossary lists hundreds of adjectives with their meanings, complemented by related trivia and horticultural lore." --Publisher description
