[Taxacom] Botanical Latin [Ad]

[Steven R. Hill]

Asking your indulgence for posting here,  Steve Hill would like to 
encourage you to attend his upcoming seminar, Botanical Latin for 
Application and Enjoyment (July3-9) Offered by the Humboldt Institute 
on the beautiful coast of Maine near Acadia National Park.

Botanical Latin is a seminar with the goal of introducing interested 
people to the fascinating world of Latin words and their uses in 
science, gardening/horticulture, and in Botany in particular.  This 
will include immersion in vocabulary and botanical tradition, and a 
goal to allow participants to be able to understand, read and write a 
good deal of botanical  Latin by the end of the seminar.  Additional 
goals - networking, field trips, and great food !
