Re: A Pet Peeve and Need Identification Help

**Duane Campbell d*@juno.com**

I almost always include the botanical name when I write, but with some
curious exceptions, which I think most of you also observe. No one ever
says that they start their Lycopersicon at the same time they plant their
Lactuca out. Most vegetables seem to be exempt from Latin. Even an
experienced gardener would be hard pressed to identify Solanum tuberosum.

Some flowers also seem to be exceptions, particularly common annuals like
petunias and marigolds.
