Reader Reviews:
A good beginners book (15/15 people found this helpful)
This a good beginners book and an excellent companion, but one can soon exhaust it. To go further and for serious horticulturalists then Botanical Latin by William T. Stearn [ISBN: 0881926272] is far more rewarding and if you can afford the extra expense and time, I would choose this.
Excellent little book (7/10 people found this helpful)
Worth having, and helps you to solve those arguments by telling you how to pronouce names too.
No Ranger should be without it (14/32 people found this helpful)
If you work in countryside recreation then this book is a must. It gives you knowledge of plants that will make the public think you are an expert. Just drop a few in a guided walk and see their faces.
Don't go breaking your teeth... (21/28 people found this helpful)
A mere 120 pages of Latin-made-easy, in a compact form that has been around for the best part of the 20th century! It does not attempt to include everything, but... use it long enough and you'll fly through your names only to soon correct your neighbours...
Good Book, and very interesting! (5/17 people found this helpful)
I think the best aspectabout this book is that is easy to read. So many different names!
