A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin

vernacular (Eng.adj.), "using a language or dialect native to a region or country" (WIII) [> L. vernaculus, 'homeborn, native' > verna, 'homeborn slave, native' (WIII)]: vernaculus,-a,-um (adj.A);

- nomen (-inis s.n.III) vernaculum, abl.sg. nomine vernaculo: vernacular name.

- Infectores nostri hanc Plantam appellant vernaculo nomine ‘Roccella,’ vel “Orcella,” vel Raspa,” ejusque ope sericum, & lanam peculiari quodam colore subpurpureo imbuunt, quem Columbinum vocant, ob similitudinem cum collo Columbino (Mich.), our [local or native] dyers call this plant with the vernacular name ‘Roccella,’ or ‘Orcella,’ or Raspa,’ by the means of which they imbue silk and wool with a certain peculiar purplish color, which they call Columbinum, due to the similarity with a dove’s neck.

A work in progress, presently with preliminary A through R, and S, and with S (in part) through Z essentially completed.
