What is this list about?
Interesting words in nature and natural science (in any language!).

What kind of words am I supposed to add?
You can add species names that you love (i.e. you love their NAME, not the species!), and terms of biological & earth sciences, chemistry, medicine, etc. you always thought they were more than mere descriptions...
Science oddities also welcome.

OK, then I suggest you to wait until a first set of words is here ok? Maybe an open list is not the best thing in the beginning... I'll think about that

I'm not sure I understand what kind of words you are looking for, kewpid. I love diatoms. Would that be a word that would fit on your list?

I think we need more guidance.
