Confused by scientific plant names? And why do Latin plant names matter? I ask Dr Chris Thorogood of the Oxford Botanic Gardens, and author of Perfectly Peculiar Plants, to explain all.

The Oxford Botanic Gardens & Arboretum is https://www.obga.ox.ac.uk/

Perfectly Peculiar Plants by Dr Chris Thorogood is published by Quarto https://www.quartoknows.com/books/978...

Or find it on Amazon (affliate link - I may get a small fee, but it won't affect the price you pay): https://amzn.to/2Q8pSf4
