Common Names of a Selected List of Plants'
Kling L. Anderson an'd Clanton E. Owensby'
Common names of plants often vary widely from place to
place, even within rather limited areas. Frequently-occurring
and widely-known species may have local names, or the same
name may be used for several species. Common names, there-
fore, often fail to identify plants accurately. That makes it
difficult to communicate about plants; the confusion may even
discontinue attempts to convey ideas about the subject. Con-
versations may shift to a subject with an adequate common
nomenclature.
CONTENTS Scientific names are essential in formal writing. When com-
mon names are to be used, as in less formal publications, scien-
Page tific names must also be given either at the place where the

not obviously important had to be somewhat arbitrary. Per-
haps certain species listed could have been omitted and oth ers
not included might have been added. The list can, therefore,
grow or be altered as need for change is shown. If further i n-
formation on common names is needed, the Kelsey and Dayton
1942 edition of Standardized Plant Names• should be consulted.
Genus Common Names
In preparing this list, we attempted to give a single common
name to each genus and to use it in connection with common
names for each of the species listed under that genus. For ex-
ample, brome for the genus, R1·omns. and various species such
as smooth brome and hairy brome. Thus, there are two words
