Primarily encapsulating informative content, these botanical dictionaries succinctly document objective academic knowledge for distinct periods. The evolution of reference books (botanical dictionaries as well) involves not only quantitative expansion but also qualitative advancements. The development of botanical vocabulary is delineated into three distinct stages, elucidating the characteristics of chronological formation and structural nuances in compendiums. Examining various botanical dictionaries exemplifies the diverse and multidimensional nature of these scholarly reference publications and their integral role in the broader landscape of encyclopedic knowledge. 2023 34 44 10.37068/evu.15.4 https://evu.encyclopedia.kyiv.ua/article/110 https://evu.encyclopedia.kyiv.ua/doi/10.37068/evu.15.4.pdf Afanasyev, D.
