Excerpt from Plant Names, Scientific and Popular: Including in the Case of Each Plant, the Correct Botanical Name, in Accordance With the Reformed Nomenclature, Together With Botanical and Popular Synonyms and Vernacular German, French and Spanish Names
It has been my endeavor to make the list of popular synonyms as complete and at the same time as authentic as possible. It has not been difficult to gather popular names of the plants of Europe, particularly of Great Britain. In our own country popular names are used in a very haphazard manner, and there has never been any attempt to gather all the names adopted in different localities. From the most reliable sources of information at my command I have gleaned a large number of the current popular names.
