Summary/Abstract: The general objective of this study is to trace a productive way of forming terms. The terminological metaphor is formed on the basis of a pre-existing cognitive pattern and on a transfer of meaning towards the target domain. The terminological metaphor has no emotional, subjective value, only a cognitive one. We will illustrate with metaphors that are based on the names of gods, religions and beliefs, habitat, names of researchers: microflora, anemones, cell, magnolia. The working method consisted of describing the cultural model of Greco-Latin origin, based on material culture (habitat), which serves as the foundation for the development of specialized metaphor. The first conclusion drawn is that the formation of new terms in botany can also occur through conceptual metaphor.
