---- I agree with Anelle thou I can understand all people that wants name
written the common way ..BUT ...:
some of us do not have the english language as our native language .. like
me .. and I do have lot of trouble when people use only the common English
names - and it is impossible fro me to find them in dictionary.

        So I hope this wish that CJoe first camw with also could be sent the other
way .. those of you who know only common names might try to look up in
catalogues or enzyclopedia you probably have in English? I thik looking it
up yourself make oyu learn more than if is written in the mails .. then you
may understand the commonname and when reading next mail you have forgotten
the latin???
        An example: I was looking for 'beargrass'  ... well had answer back: which
one - there are at least 4 different beargrass in USA ... well I had no
idea .. beargrass wass all that was written on the picture I saw! If the
latin had been there too .. then I wouldn't mess around like I have doem to
get this!
        Sometime I just delete treads because I do not know what you are talking
about because only common name have been used.
        So latin is plant language we all share where ever we are from - that way
we all can learn a bit by and by .. or we 'foreigners' easily get lost and
leave the lists ... maybe not a big loss .. but anyway  ...
