Q: How to find plant names.
A: Looking for a hard to
remember name can be frustrating, especially when you're not an expert

names, each useful for different searching problems. If you know a plant by its common name, use the list of vernacular names.
Type the common name in the search field and press the search button.
You can also use the list of vernacular names if you know part or all of the botanical
