A Dictionary Of Botanical Terms

4.9/5 (25187 ratings)

Description: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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
