An extract from the ebook:
"Plant names are given to plants by botanists or horticulturists who discover, classify and/or breed those plants. Most plant names are chosen for some logical reason, and if you look closely at a name you will usually find it tells you something about the plant. By getting to know the meanings of plant names, you can gradually improve the ease with which you can remember names and the plants which they are attached to."
