   How did plants get their names?

   • Modern plant taxonomists (specialists in plants and their names) use the DNA extracted from plants to classify family, genus and species, which has brought about name changes for some plants. The oldest plant names accepted today however come from Species Plantarum (1753) and for animals from Species Systema Naturae (1758).

   Why do plants have different names?

   • Because most plants were first named two or three hundred years ago, when global communication was more difficult than today, it was possible for botanists to publish different names for the same plant. Now there are a series of rules for deciding which of these published names to use, which then becomes the ‘accepted name’.

   Why do plants have scientific names in Latin?

   • Botanists had come up with a solution to these problems some time ago by giving plants names in botanical Latin. These Latin scientific names are recognised internationally as referring to a particular species. I started to memorise some of these scientific names, but I did not have the opportunity to use them much in my work.

   What is the difference between a common name and a botanical name?

   • Whereas common names may be shared by many plants (look up "buttercup" as an example), botanical names are very specific. They may tell you what the plant looks like. For example, no matter what other words are in the name, if it says "alba marginata" the plant's foliage has white (alba) margins. Same with "tricolor" -- the plant has three colors.
