Sola Posted May 9, 2011 I'm interested in language and obviously plants as I love using this site. Recently I picked up a dictionary to check a few words out and found myself getting distracted looking up different botanical words. Here's a few I found interesting: sative: in cultivation peregrine: to go on a journey muscardine: a silkworm disease caused by a fungus colubrine: snakelike officinal: belonging to, used in, a shop: used in medicine: recognised in the pharmacoepia: sold by druggists. officina/ officinalis: a workshop, later a monastic storeroom specious: beautiful, showy nuciferous: nut bearing tomentum: a matted cottony pubescence Feel free to add any other you think are interesting, I'm sure there are loads.
