Naujieji dekoratyvinių augalų genčių vardai
New names of genera of decorative plants

Summary/Abstract: Since 2002 the Terminology sub-commission of the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language (further – SCLL) together with botanists have been discussing changes in Lithuanian names of plants which appear due to changes in Latin taxonomy and giving Lithuanian names to plants which were brought to Lithuania in recent years and which previously did not have Lithuanian names. At the end of 2014 SCLL announced the recommendation Dėl dekoratyvinių augalų lietuviškų pavadinimų (In regard to Lithuanian names of decorative plants) comprising standardized Lithuanian names of genera and species of decorative plants. This paper deals with 417 new names of plant genera, presented in the above mentioned recommendation of SCLL. New names are synchronically researched from the point of view of terminology and word-formation; ways of creation and derivation of Lithuanian neologisms are established; and ways of derivation of the current names of plant genera and names of genera taken from Lietuvos flora (Lithuanian flora) are compared.
