Flowering plants An index of common and scientific names This is an index of scientific names and common (`vernacular') names (in English) of flowering plants and plant products. It serves as an index to the Chart of Flowering Plant Families (www.botanicalchart.org.uk). All names appearing on the chart are included in the index. In addition, we include many further scientific names and also common names of useful and ornamental plants and plant products, thus giving a more extensive listing than is possible on the chart itself. The index may be used to locate common names, families and other names on the chart using the hierarchical structure as follows. Given a common name or plant product, for example `Mango', the entry in the index says that Mango is in the genus Mangifera, in the family Anacardiaceae. This family has an entry giving the order as Sapindales, which is in the Malvids, in the Rosids, which, finally, is in the Eudicots, one of the major taxa of flowering plants. Warning: The common, or vernacular, names in this index cover familiar plants and plant products. These names vary from language to language. Moreover, often only local names are available. Sometimes, the same name is used for several (sometimes quite unrelated) species. We have tried to disambiguate common names using genera. However, some common names can be used quite loosely of a range of different species (usage sometimes varying around the world). Particular problems arise with names of timbers and also with some descriptive names of garden plants. In this index, as well as covering scientific names, we have tried to provide a guide to the current usage of many common names, but inevitably some usages may not be included and others may be not precise enough to be specified.
