From Library Journal

As Stearn states in his "Apologia" of a preface, "this book aims to provide a working guide to the special kind of Latin internationally used by botanists for the description and naming of plants." First published in 1966, Botanical Latin is the standard work in its field, a bible for botanists and a source of useful and trivial information for avid gardeners, etymologists, classical scholars, and others. The fourth edition has a larger format, "minor emendations" to bibliographies and text, and some 400 entries have been added to the vocabulary. This erudite and comprehensive work is recommended only for academic and specialized botanical and horticultural collections.- Richard Shotwell, Hancock Shaker Vil lage, Pittsfield, Mass.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Review

"Mr. Stearn delivers the History, Grammar, Syntax, Terminology and Vocabulary of botanical Latin with such lively erudition I often find myself foraging through this linguistic hortus botanicus for the pure word-empowering romance of it."—Patti Hagan, Wall Street Journal, September 1, 1999 (Patti Hagan Wall Street Journal )"The interesting array of words ... will pique the curiosity of even the most casual of readers leafing through the book to slow down, pause, and browse awhile."—Carole T. Gee, SpringerWienNewYork, 2006 (Carole T. Gee SpringerWienNewYork )"This internationally renowned masterpiece is indispensible."—Cindy Roché, Kalmiopsis, August 2005 (Cindy Roch Kalmiopsis )
