GLOSSARY OF PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES 



The following list of the more important Greek and Latin roots used in 

 botanical terminology has been compiled to enable the student to understand 

 the meaning of technical terms. With its aid most of those occurring in the 

 text can be readily translated. They are arranged as prefixes and suffixes 

 according to their usual employment, though some may occur in either 

 position. Their derivation from Greek (G.) or Latin (L.) has been indicated 

 in each case.
