„Słownik Roślin Zielnych” [“Dictionary of herbaceous plants”]

Szmit Nursery published Latin-Polish ”Dictionary of herbaceous plants“. The dictionary's author is Wiesław Gawryś – plants enthusiast, longstanding employee and director of the Polish Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden in Warsaw.

This is the first publication that in such a complete manner accumulates and systematizes Polish nomenclature of herbaceous plants. The author presents nearly 10 000 Latin names, representing 8254 species, subspecies, forms and hybrids and provides their Polish equivalents. The fact that a significant number of plants included in the Dictionary has never had their Polish names is to be paid attention to – it is a very innovative and necessary work. The Dictionary includes all the herbaceous plants that can be found in Poland both those occurring in wilderness and the cultivated ones.

Information included in the Dictionary may be used as a source of proper applicable nomenclature by persons professionally involved in plants as well as by all plants enthusiasts who are not indifferent to purity and correctness of the Polish botanic language.
