Die wissenschaftlichen Namen der Pflanzen und was sie bedeuten

Sigmund SeyboldThe Scientific Names of Plantsand What They Mean. A scientific plant name is generally made up of a generic name and a specific epithet. The specific epithet often describes an important feature of the plant, or indicates where it was originally found. More often, however, Latinised terms from other languages are used. In this important reference work for training, study and professional practice, more than 8500 designations of species and subspecies have been translated - some with additional, more detailed explanations.
