The Common Milkweed was taken to Europe in the late 1500s for botanists to study. They knew it was native to the eastern New World. Yet Linnaeus named it Asclepias syriaca, the Syrian milkweed. Why? The answer was buried in old botanical papers written in Latin. Dr. Rintz researched and translated the original papers involved. This book has translations from these papers showing where and why the mix up occurred.
