is there any adjective meaning "relating to natural sciences" in English?
Naturalistic???
Eg. a garden with a collection of several plants of scientific and "naturalistic" importance.
Thanks.
Erklärung: In my view any study or subject matter deals with plant is "botany". Botany is a science of plants study and thereby it is a matter of nature (who else can make platns besides "Mother Nature"?). I do not believe you need to emphasize a "relationship to natural science", because looking into an importance of plant is nothing but a science.
"A garden with a collection of several plants of scientic and "BOTANICAL" importance" makes perfect sense to me.

Type -- scientic(wrong) scientific (correct)
Also, scientific importance in some plant can mean importance other than botanical, i.e. herbalogist study medicinal utility of plants.
I found that naturalistic also means "of natural history" (Oxford dictionary). Unfortunately, it would understood only by few people. I used the word botanical instead. Thanks to all! 4 KudoZ-Punkte wurden für diese Antwort vergeben
