PLANT NAMES
We sometimes
wonder why plants have complicated,
difficult to remember; and difficult
to pronounce
names. We also wonder why plants are given
names
in Latin and how are plants named.
This article from Kew Gardens
has excellent
explanations on why it is necessary for plants have
scientific or Botanical Latin names.
