Thesauraus for botanical terms - does one exist?
I was wondering if there was a list of botanical terms for the average idiot (me) where I can plug in my simple everyday language to obtain the correct/accepted botanical terms? Similar to a Roget's Thesaurus where I can look up the word 'chubby' and find other words to describe a fat person (me again, but I am slowly slimming, currently at 197 lbs.) to find other words with the same meaning such as 'rotund', 'portly', stout' ,and my favorite 'big-boned', etc. - only I need to find the correct botanic terms for the everyday words.
Examples:
The plant has white flowers = Alba
There are some hairs on the plant = Pubescent or pubescence,
and so on.
(Once I find the correct botanical terms I will be able to use the almighty identification 'keys', which will actually be my next question.)
