T1.7 Common Names

It is recommended that common names are only used in addition to the Botanical Name and never used alone. Many plants of our landscapes have a very wide range of Common Names. Geoffrey Grigson in Dictionary of English Plant Names (1974) records 90 different local names for Arum maculatum within the U.K. Lords and Ladies, Cuckoo Pint, Jack in the Pulpit, Starchwort, Sucky Calves are just the start of a long list.
