A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin

anemochorous, wind-disseminated, anemochorus,-a,-um (adj.A), anemochoricus,-a,-um (adj.A).

Anemochory: anemochoria,-ae (s.f.I), “applied by Sernander to plants which retain their seeds through the winter, and then disseminate them by the instrumentality of the wind” (Jackson); “The diaspores roll over the lateritic plateau blown by wind and are deposited in crevices having soil where the seeds germinate during favourable climatic conditions. This kind of dispersal mechanism---“anemogeochory”---as termed by van der Pijl (1972: 58) is unique and effective in the spread of the species on dry lateritic grassy plains.”

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