Discovering Wild Plant Names

Many wild plant names originate from early Greek, Latin or Old English and through the ages their original meanings have become misunderstood. This book aims to bring order to the confusion of botanical classification by tracing the origins of both the English names and the scientific names of the common species of plants and trees in Britain.
