I have to say that most people are not too interested
in the etymology of plant names

I know they're not, but since the plant names are a reflection of the
relationship between plants as far as we understand them, they can tell
you a lot! I can't understand why some people feel even such basic
things as what family a plant is in is somehow difficult and reserved
only for those with great expertise.
