Synopsis

"No gardener should be without this total classic." – George Hudson, Evening Standard

Finally pronounce and understand every Latin plant name with confidence.

First published in 1931 by renowned horticulturist Arthur Johnson, Plant Names Simplified has become an established classic – now in its fully updated 3rd Edition by A.T. Johnson, H.A. Smith, and Adrian Stockdale, Chartered Horticulturist. Presented in an easy-to-navigate glossary format, this pocket-sized reference reveals the pronunciation, derivation, and meaning behind common plant names, unlocking the fascinating Latin origins hiding in plain sight – like discovering that Helianthus hirsutus is named for being hairy.

What you'll gain:

  • Correct pronunciation – say any botanical name with confidence, no more guessing
  • Clear derivations – understand exactly where each Latin and Greek name comes from
  • Practical meaning – learn what each name reveals about the plant itself
  • Pocket-sized format – a genuine quick-reference you'll actually keep to hand
  • Trusted by professionals – a reliable resource for gardeners of all abilities, park managers, botanists, ecologists, garden designers, horticultural practitioners, and students
