I'm a botanist (deep into ferns), a Botanical Latin enthusiast
and a long-time programmer hence the Botanical Latin program
TRANSLAT which is available below.....
Get TRANINST.ZIP (v. 4.09) (504Kbytes) now [updated version 16 May 1999]
TRANSLAT
(early version 4.07a) is also available via anonymous ftp at www.mobot.org
from the Missouri Botanic Gardens in the directory /pub/DOS/Latin (NB:
FTP from Netscape & IE probably won't work for this at present). I'll
try to put latest files there asap.
Some of my favourite links.........
I recommend a visit to the Internet Directory of Botany. The Latin Grammar Aid and Wordlist is a useful link for Latin, as is the Human Languages Page. Detailed explanations of (species) epithets are available at the Dictionary of Botanical Epithets site. For a bit of light relief, check out the BOGUS home page (and the links there to oddities of zoological and botanical nomenclature).
Thelypteris confluens, Stradbroke Island, southern Queensland, Australia: the confirmed Australian distribution of this fern consists of two sites in Queensland, and one in southern Victoria.
Email me if you have problems with TRANSLAT, or want to talk about ferns.
