Most plants also have one or more common names.
However, the use of only common names may be confusing. A plant may have a common name that vary from one region to another. For example, Kalmia latifolia is called mountain laurel, mountain ivy, Virginia ivy, mountain kalmia, or kalmia laurel. Or, we can have one name applied to several plants. For example, tea or the tea plant could be Camellia sinensis , Chenopodium ambrosioides , Ilex glabra , Monarda didyma or others.
