Gardener's Latin

Aimed at gardeners, this work is a compendium of Latin words that describe and distinguish plants and flowers. It also contains garden lore, such as: why Narcissus cyclamineus is a horticultural joke; why basil is the herb of dread and suspicion; and, why Cleopatra's asp arrives in a basket of figs whenever Antony and Cleopatra is performed.
