Talk:List of plants by common name

I own the website cited. It is open for any wiki use. (SB Johnny 11:24, 14 November 2005 (UTC))

The best sources for country names are florae and herbals. I especially rely on "An Illustrated Flora of the Northern United States and Canada", and "A Modern Herbal" (will put biblios in the resources section later).

Wolf berry
Botonists: does anyone have information on the various Lycium species known as wolf berry in the desert Southwest -- were used as food sources by indiginous people? Please see the discussion page on Hovenweep National Monument. Possible source:

Strange selection
This is a strange list. A lot of common plants missing: onion, hemp, wheat, rice, sugarcane. It looks like it grew out of a list of North American wild plants, and has been abandoned years ago. Any objections when I unsystematically infuse some common plants from the non-North American parts of the world? Stupid girl (talk) 23:42, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you think this article is actually useful? If so, certainly add more. Peter coxhead (talk) 18:34, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

What may be more useful is to have an entry such as lambsfoot followed by the major taxa that have this as a common name somewhere. Then if you were reading a novel or journal entry that mentioned lambsfoot, you could try to determine if it was a Plantago or another plant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gebrelu (talk • contribs) 16:42, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

"Herb barbara"
... is capitalized thus. I'm not convinced the name is still in current use, though. —Twice Nothing (talk) 02:09, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Images
Is there a reason why the article has no images; there must be hundreds available. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 23:29, 14 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't see much of a point. It would probably cause endless arguments as to what plants should have a photo and what shouldn't since you obviously can't have one for every single plant. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 21:33, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Plants rating

Morels
These are mushrooms, right? Not plants? Why are they here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:152:4400:EB80:1CE4:EEA6:ED5:711C (talk) 16:36, 15 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Morels are fungi. Deleted. Ashwin Baindur (User:AshLin) (talk) 14:44, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
