Book Synopsis

What was tulipmania? Where would you find a boreal forest? And why are fungi not plants?

Exploring everything from algae to the wood-wide web, this brilliantly eclectic and beautifully illustrated book delves into the roots, meaning and compelling stories of 250 botanical words.

Guided by the experts at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Plant Words is a cornucopia of horticultural terms.
