For anyone who has ever puzzled over the Latin binomials and complex taxonomic conventions governing the plant world, Plant Names: A Guide to Botanical Nomenclature is an indispensable companion. Part of the Ornamental Plants series, this authoritative reference work presents the intricate system of botanical naming in a clear, accessible manner, guiding horticulturalists, botanists, students, and enthusiastic gardeners alike through the rules and conventions that underpin the international language of plants.

The second edition instructs readers on the principles of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, illustrating how plant names are formed, applied, and standardised across the globe — bringing rigour and clarity to a subject that can often seem impenetrable.
