On the Improper Usage of Common Names When Giving Botanical Data
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
It is pointed out and stressed that, when dealing with botanical material, the investigator should be wary of listing the plant's name only in the local language or by the English common name. It is also stressed that one should not attempt to "translate" plants listed only by their common name into their appropriate scientific name without being aware of the dire consequences which may be produced.
