Common names
I am slightly puzzled as to when a common name is applied to a plant. As an
example the genus 'EUONYMUS' has the common name Spindle tree' does this now mean "E. f. Emerald 'n' Gold" for example has this as one of its common names? Another example would be 'BUDDLEJA davidii' common name 'Butterfly bush' does this common name only apply to 'davidii' or does it apply to all varieties of 'davidii'? regards Pat |
