Episode description
This week on We Dig Plants Carmen Devito and Alice Marcus Krieg continue their linguistic exploration of botanical Latin with the help of friend and culinary horticulturist Scott D. Appell. Learn what the different Latin endings from -icus to -ens mean in term of location, color, discoverer and how Carl Linneaus developed and compiled the taxonomic classification for botanists. Later on, learn how the use of DNA testing is remapping classical botanical taxonomy as we know it.
