Common Names of Plants

The common names of plants will, presumably, always be with us in some form or other, because they are easier to relate to and roll off the tongue better than the corresponding scientific names of plants. Nor are the common names of plants lacking in scholarly interest, as many have fascinating historical tales to tell. Below is the index to plants I cover on this website, listed by section, alphabetically (note that in some cases, the scientific names of plants are so commonly used as to function essentially as alternative common names, in which case I include them in this database). For example, if you're searching for information on yarrow, scroll down to where you see "U-Z" and click the link. You'll be brought to a page with links for common names of plants beginning with one of those letters:
