Advantages of Common Names

The main advantage of using common plant names is ease of usage and common understanding in certain geographical areas and, conversely, the prevention of confusion among the laymen who do not understand Latin.

It will be a great advantage to those who are engaged in disseminating or learning the fundamentals of crop farming and to the agricultural extension workers if they are also familiar with common names. However, It is impractical, even preposterous, to try to convince the layman to memorize and use scientific names.

Disadvantages of Common Names

On the disadvantage, many common plant names cause confusion not only locally but internationally. Worst, unscrupulous plant traders can easily invent common names for personal profit with total disregard to the possible injury, financially or physically, that it may cause.

Many common names are not unique to a specific plant. Different species of plants (plants that might not even be related) may have the same common name.

For examples:

Many plants are commonly called tumbleweed, or generally called as moss or daisies.

In the world of carnivorous plants, both Sarracenia and Darlingtonia are called cobra lilies, and there are about eight different species of Sarracenia called trumpet pitcher plants.

Some Plants Don’t Have a Common Name.

Some plants that are not so common to begin with, don’t have any common name for plant identification.

For Example:

While the common name – trumpet pitcher – gives us no hint of how the plant looks like (the botanical name of the plant does).

They may be quite indefinite.

They are restricted to the people of one language or even one part of a country.

They are not regulated by any constituted authority.

They are too vague for scientific usage.

A person will have to learn many sets of names of a single plant or animal.
