AK Files: New Botany Code Cancels Latin

Despite centuries of research and exploration to create a complete inventory of the world’s plant life, there may be as many as 100,000 plant species that are not yet known to science, waiting to be cataloged — if we can find and describe them in time. Art collectors of Art Kabinett network spend many hours perusing the Latin terms in their pricey botany litho's and drawings.

The requirement to use Latin — which has been in place, officially, since 1908, and in practice since the 18th century — doesn’t make this process any faster. It is also quite distressing to students learning their flora.
