About Me
I'm a botanist with a special interest in ferns,
a
Botanical Latin enthusiast

declined Latin from Latin dictionary forms.

Some of my favourite links.........
I recommend a visit to the Internet Directory of Botany .
The Latin
Grammar Aid and
Wordlist is a useful link for Latin, as is the iLoveLanguages Page. Detailed
explanations of (species) epithets are available at the Dictionary
of
Botanical Epithets site. For a bit of light relief, see Doug Yanega's
personal home
page for oddities of zoological and botanical nomenclature.
If you are seeking commercial Scientific Latin Translation services,
see Mark A. Garland's site.
Thelypteris confluens, Stradbroke Island, southern
Queensland,
Australia: the confirmed Australian distribution of this fern consists
of two
sites in Queensland, and one in southern Victoria.
Email me if you have problems with
TRANSLAT, or
want to talk about ferns (see email address in the image
