The Collins English Dictionary defines ‘serotine’ as meaning: “produced, flowering, or developing late in the season”. A serotine can also be either of two insectivorous bats, Eptesicus serotinus or Vespertilio serotinus: family Vespertilionidae. We chose ‘serotine’ for our name as we are a late-flowering business which has only just arrived on the publishing scene.
