3.1 · Plants · Plants [General Meaning]
plant any kind of plant, whether tree, bush, or herb The principal translational difficulty with φυτεία is that in so many languages there is no term with such a generic meaning. Sometimes the closest equivalent is a descriptive phrase ‘green things’ or ‘leafy things.’
Classifications of plants vary greatly from one language to another. Principal distinctions are based upon size, woodiness, perennials versus annuals, and food-producing in contrast with non-food-producing.
