| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the history behind characterizing botanical plants. States that "in 1629, an expedition left London and headed into the wilds of Kent...with the intention of looking for plants as plants, and not as herbs for medicinal use." Mentions John Ray who "produced a manageable mixture of [plant] names on which he and his successors were able to build a sound knowledge of our plant life." Highlights the bi-nomial method of naming plants, where the first name is the generic name and the second name is the specific name given to one plant of the same genus. Overviews what the Latin names mean, which "often refer to some part of the plant which makes it stand out." |
