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.
