NON-FUNGAL LATIN WORDS

Lots of people on the Internet seem to want to know the latin name for various things. They often end up on my site because I inadvertently named one of my pages 'Latin Name'. I should have called it 'Botanical Name' or 'Scientific Name' - but there you go. As a service to my readers therefore I list here some of the latin names of things that people have been to my site for. I will also add some links so that if what you want is not listed you can find out from somewhere else.
