DICTIONARY OF SCOTTISH PLANT NAMES (RBGE) (HB)

From Fairy’s Thimbles to Dabberlocks and from Leddy’s Fingers to Stinking Tam, this small book of wondrous plant names is also an exploration of plants and their names in the Scots language through the ages. Presented as a dictionary, and covering a vast variety of flower, fungi and mosses, this book seeks to present the rich history of these plants and how they rooted themselves firmly in the language of the people of Scotland. Dr Gregory Kenicer is a botanist, lecturer and author at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh whose other popular books include Plant Magic and Scottish Plant Lore.
