Dear All: I have found it easy to follow what the taxonomists are talking about when classifying botanical specimen if I know the meaning of the technical terms... I am making a slight progress... I found a visual guide on the net and a glossary.... I find these pages very useful....
this may be botany 101 in 8th grade in junior high school.... http://www.vplants.org/plants/glossary/ http://www.vplants.org/plants/glossary/plate01.html from the site for A Virtual Herbarium of the Chicago Region hope folks in the same boat as I am may find the guide useful... Feedback from members after you use this guide for a few days will be appreciated..... AND from the people in the know.... any textbook that's easy to read about BOTANICAL LATIN would be appreciated.... Thanks Usha di
