I found it a nice and easy way to get acquainted with nature by starting to learn some of the naturalist terms first.
Here below, you’ll find most of those used throughout my blog, in link with Provence wildlife, and some more.
Imparipinnate leaf: leaf with an odd number of leaflets, at the end of which there is an unpaired terminal leaflet.
Leaflet: smaller leaf
Melliferous: plant that secretes nectar, from which bees make honey.
Pinnate leaf: leaf that is made up of leaflets, arranged symmetrically on either side of the central stem
Pioneer species: one that colonises a given ecological space
Root sucker: a shoot springing from the roots of a plant.
