- Confused by scientific plant names? And why do Latin plant names matter? I ask Dr Chris Thorogood of the Oxford Botanic Gardens, and author of Perfectly Peculiar Plants, to explain all.
The Oxford Botanic Gardens & Arboretum is www.obga.ox.ac.uk/
Perfectly Peculiar Plants by Dr Chris Thorogood is published by Quarto www.quartoknows.com/books/978...
Or find it on Amazon (affliate link - I may get a small fee, but it won't affect the price you pay): amzn.to/2Q8pSf4

Carol Kein seems to explain Latin names very well...a true wealth of knowledge
I have taught my children that plants are living things and every plant has a purpose. Just like every thing on this planet. Such great information thank you for sharing. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you! This video was immensely helpful! Like my fellow commenters, I too was a tad bit confused at first. Only rather than gripe about it, I simply hit replay a few more times and vOiLà! My confusion was sorted, lol! Although I must admit, Mr. Thurgood did make the repeated watching rather easy. He is quite the looker!
I'm glad you made this video along with your great gardening tips!
That's certainly helped me with one Christmas present idea for my 6-year old grand-daughter!
I always thought it was Latin. I love learning this .
I'm glad I got to grips with binomial nomenclature years ago or I'd be thoroughly confused now. Book looks excellent
Thank you for making this video. I am currently a student at Fleming College school of environmental science studying Ecosystem Management. I have many many tests on plant species and their scientific names. It can be hard to remember species and their identification features mainly because binomial nomenclature is new to me! So hopefully this book will help the younger generations.
Great show!!!!! Thank you for the detailed information.
What a great video. I learned a lot. Great topic.
Great video! I'm a fan of your videos, this particular video I'm going to share with on FB Homeschool CoOp..such an interesting format to introduce botany lessons thru this book.
Btw ppp was unavailable at Barnes And Noble when we looked there.
Oh dear. I've watched this twice and I'm still confused :( Perhaps Dr Thorogood can write a 'Plant Scientific Names For Dummies' book for us... dummies :-/
How many generic names one would have to learn before we even start on the specific epithet! Not to mention when 'they' keep changing the names! I find it difficult enough to remember the 'common or garden' names of plants I have planted! If anyone asks me "What plant is that?" even if I know it, I become totally tongue-tied.
Great to have such videos - but just a bugbear, when talking about 'Michaelmas daisies', around
will this be available on Amazon again? Now it just shows 'unavailable'. When searching myself it only seems to be sold in Chinese on Amazon now :( Its also no longer available at the Quarto link provided in your description.
I would love a copy of that book! unfortunately, due to the pandemic and loosing my job, i wont be able to get a copy for a while
Interesting subject, we are a bit obsessed with scientific names in the tree world 👍
Great intro, BUT...
Would you kindly give three good reason why we use botanical name?
