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.
