An excerpt from the PREFACE: THE task of selecting what terms should be included in any branch of science offers many difficulties: in the case of botany, it is closely linked on with zoology and general biology, with geology as regards fossil plants, with pharmacy, chemistry, and the cultivation of plants in the garden or the field. How far it is advisable to include terms from those overlapping sciences which lie on the borderland is a question on which no two people might think alike. I have given every word an independent examination, so as to take in all which seemed needful, all, in fact, which might be fairly expected, and yet to exclude technical terms which really belong to another science. Words in common use frequently have technical meanings, and must be included; other technical words are foreign to botany, and must be excluded. Thus "entire" must be defined in its botanic sense, and such purely geologic terms as Triassic and Pleistocene must be passed by. The total number of rare alkaloids and similar bodies recorded in pharmacologic and chemical works, if included, would have extended this Glossary to an inconvenient size; I have therefore only enumerated those best known or of more frequent mention in literature, or interesting for special reasons. Many words only to be found in dictionaries have been passed by; each dictionary I have consulted contains words apparently peculiar to it, and some have been suspected of being purposely coined to round off a set of terms. The foundations of the list here presented are A. Gray's "Botanical Text-Book," Lindley's "Glossary," and Henslow's "Dictionary," as set forth in the Bibliography. To these terms have been added others extant in the various modern text-books and current literature, noted in the course of reading, or found by special search. The abstracts published in the "Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society" afforded many English equivalents of foreign terms.... ....The total numbers included in this Glossary amount to about 16,000, that is, nearly three times as many as in any other previous work in the language. The derivations have been carefully checked, but as this book has no pretension to be A philological work, the history of the word is not attempted; thus in "etiolate" I have contented myself with giving the proximate derivation, whilst the great Oxford dictionary cites a host of intermediate forms deduced from stipella. The meaning appended to the roots is naturally a rough one, for to render adequately all that may be conveyed by many of the roots is manifestly impossible when a single word must serve. The accent has been added in accordance with the best discoverable usage; where pronunciation varies, I have tried to follow the best usage; in some words such as "medullary" I have given the accent as it is always spoken, though all the dictionaries, except Henslow's, accent it as "med'ullary." When words have become thoroughly anglicised, it would have been mere pedantry to accent them otherwise; we say or'ator, not as in Latin, ora'tor. The accent does not imply syllabic division, but when the accent immediately follows a vowel, that vowel is long; if one or more consonants intervene, then the vowel is short; thus ca'nus, cas'sus, as though they were printed ca-nus, cas-sus [both pronounced with a short a as in "ah]; in a few instances the pronunciation is also given when the word would otherwise be doubtful as to sound.

Excerpt from A Dictionary of Botanical Terms It is now nearly twenty years since an English dictionary of botanical terms was published, and the development of botany during that time has brought into use many new terms and led to the abandonment of some of those which were formerly employed. The present work, though larger than any of its predecessors, is therefore wanting in certain terms which are found in the earlier botanical dictionaries. A few obsolete terms, however, which occur in standard botanical literature are retained and marked as such. The scope of this dictionary is nearly the same as that of its predecessors, except that it is broader on the side of agriculture and horticulture, as it aims to include all technical terms applied to plants both by botanists and others. Very many of the newer terms are from the German botanists, to whom we owe by far the greater part of modern structural and physiological botany. These terms, particularly, include an unfortunately large number of synonyms, which seem to be a necessary result of active research by independent workers in the same fields. With few exceptions, no definition is repeated, all approved synonyms being brought together under one term. Where a choice existed this has permitted the preferable term alone to be defined.

"Rousseau taught us to look at plants and animals with new eyes, to appreciate the beauty and mystery of the natural world." Henry David Thoreau A new 2023 translation into English from the original manuscripts of Rousseau's classic and influential Lettres élémentaires sur la botanique (Elementary Letters on Botany) and his 1782 Fragments pour un Dictionnaire des termes de Botanique (Fragments for a Dictionary of Botanical Terms). These two works are his major writings on the natural world and have had a significant impact on Natural Science and Ecology. In both of these works, Rousseau explores the beauty and complexity of nature, and argues that an appreciation for the natural world is essential for human well-being.
