Hi,
I'd like to know if there is a database in systematic botany which,
>from  the latin binomial, gives the local name of each plant and its
translation in the main european languages.

If yes : where ? who? how? etc.
Please reply via E-mail

Thanks a lot.

Répondre par courrier electronique

Perhaps the best source is Hortus Third...they list the American names 
and the latin names. The Encly by the (UK) Royal Hort Society is also 
quite good with the European names.

Names...names...names. Everyone has a differnet name for the same plant. 
How many times did you hear I have a palm? There must be hundreds of 
'palms'

Hortus Third, Macmillian Pub Co, NY, Collier Macmillian Publ, London- 
should be avail from your local bookseller. Sells for about $135-$150USD. 

Regards
Joel
