Knowledge of plant names can give insight into largely forgotten beliefs. For example, the common red poppy is known as "Blind Man" due to an old superstitious belief that if the poppy were put to the eyes it would cause blindness. Many plant names derived from superstition, folk lore, or primal beliefs. Other names are purely descriptive and can serve to explain the meaning of the botanical name. For example, Beauty-Berry is the name given to the American shrub that belongs to the genus Callicarpa. Callicarpa is Greek for beautiful fruit. Still other names come from literary sources providing rich detail of the transmission of words through the ages. Conceived as part of the author's wider interest in plant and tree lore and ethnobotanical studies, this fully revised edition of Elsevier's Dictionary of Plant Names and Their Origins contains over 30,000 vernacular and literary English names of plants. Wild and cultivated plants alike are identified by the botanical name. Further detail provides a brief account of the meaning of the name and detailed commentary on common usage. * Includes color images * Inclusive of all Latin terms with vernacular derivatives * The most comprehensive guide for plant scientists, linguists, botanists, and historians

The present dictionary lists more than 14500 generic names and the same number of species plus 1600 synonyms recognized in approximately 600 families of plants bacteria included. Nearly all genera of economic, horticultural, medicinal or industrial importance are included. Plant genera of tropical regions are particularly well represented. The dictionary also covers many lower plant genera. The first part of this dictionary is an alphabetical list of scientific generic and family names, while the second part is an alphabetical list of vernacular names with their Latin equivalents. Each generic name is accompanied by its family name, a representative species, and, if known, its German, English and French vernacular names as found in various publications or regional treatments. This dictionary is intended for students, professors, scientists, physicians, hobbyists and others interested in botany.
