Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Plant Names: From the Tenth to the Fifteenth Century Of the manifold attractions in the Saxon Vocabularies, nothing has charmed me more than the native Plant-names, which have there been preserved in the most primitive form extant. For many winters these lists were to me as a kind of winter-garden, wherein I could botanize at the fireside and look at familiar plants through the eyes of remote ancestors. Wishing to impart this pure and exquisite pleasure to some friends of mine and friends of Saxon studies, I printed the following lists from the editions in the readiest manner without any idea of making a book. I made no revision of the texts, excepting a manuscript in the library of St. John's College, Oxford, which, through the kindness of the President, I collated with No. V. After the lists were thus hastily printed, I was encouraged to add indices and an introduction. The indices will facilitate such a comparison of the lists as will often enable readers to correct scribal errors for themselves.

Book excerpt: Knowledge of plant names can give insight into largely forgotten beliefs. For example, the common red poppy is known as "Blind Man" due to an old superstitious belief that if the poppy were put to the eyes it would cause blindness. Many plant names derived from superstition, folk lore, or primal beliefs. Other names are purely descriptive and can serve to explain the meaning of the botanical name. For example, Beauty-Berry is the name given to the American shrub that belongs to the genus Callicarpa. Callicarpa is Greek for beautiful fruit. Still other names come from literary sources providing rich detail of the transmission of words through the ages.Conceived as part of the author's wider interest in plant and tree lore and ethnobotanical studies, this fully revised edition of Elsevier's Dictionary of Plant Names and Their Origins contains over 30,000 vernacular and literary English names of plants. Wild and cultivated plants alike are identified by the botanical name. Further detail provides a brief account of the meaning of the name and detailed commentary on common usage.* Includes color images * Inclusive of all Latin terms with vernacular derivatives * The most comprehensive guide for plant scientists, linguists, botanists, and historians
