\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Have you ever felt completely lost when trying to decipher the Latin (and\/or Greek) botanical names of plants? When I first started my flower farm, I made myself read and memorize every botanical name for every species I grew. It made my brain hurt, but after a while, I started noticing similarities and the reasoning behind the nomenclature began to make sense. It\u2019s like looking at a Where\u2019s Waldo? picture: Suddenly the chaos disappears as the image snaps into focus.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in a name?<\/span>
<\/strong>Many gardeners simply use the common names for the plants in their gardens. But these names are often regional and can refer to different plants all together. In some areas of the country, \u201cspirea\u201d refers to Astilbe, the herbaceous shade perennial, while in other parts of the country, it refers to the woody perennial flowering shrub. Using the correct botanical names can cut through a lot of confusion.<\/p>\n

There are seven levels of organization to identifying a particular plant, beginning with Kingdom. For now we\u2019ll concentrate on the last three: family; genus; and species. (There are sometimes sub-categories below species, but they usually refer to a cultivar or hybrid.)<\/p>\n

Family<\/span>
<\/strong>You\u2019ve probably seen the name \u201cAsteraceae.\u201d This is one of the most common families of flowering plants, encompassing all daisy-flowered plants, from the largest sunflowers to the tiniest wild aster. Two other familiar family names are \u201cViolaceae\u201d and \u201cLiliaceae,\u201d violet and lily forms, respectively.<\/p>\n

Family names can help you identify a new plant. If you\u2019re out on a hike and find a lovely wild daisy, you know to start looking in the Asteraceae family. In addition to flower forms, there are several identifiers that place a plant in a particular family. These include: Where the seeds are located, how they will look, and how to germinate them \u2012 these are just a few of the similarities in a plant family.<\/p>\n

Genus<\/span>
<\/strong>This is where you really begin to see the differentiation of plant types, from Aquilegia to Zinnia. These are the names by which you will narrow down your search for a particular flowering plant (also known as angiosperm).<\/p>\n

Species<\/span>
<\/strong>This name tells you what kind of Aquilegia (common name: columbine) you\u2019re growing. There are literally dozens of different species! So if you want to finish your native garden with some aquilegia, you will most likely look for A. canadensis. which has red nodding blooms and is native to Tennessee. If, on the other hand, you want something frillier with upward-facing blooms in a mix of colors, you might grow A. vulgaris, \u201cBarlow Mix\u201d (which is what I\u2019m growing this year). In this case, \u201cvulgaris\u201d is the species, and \u201cBarlow Mix\u201d is the cultivar or variety of this species.<\/p>\n

(Note: When the genus has already been stated in a paragraph, you may abbreviate it in following sentences while referring to the species in full, as I have done above.)<\/p>\n

I hope this gives you a place to start the next time you\u2019re flummoxed when trying to identify a particular plant. It really can be fun, and will give you a much deeper understanding of the magical world of flowering plants!<\/p>\n

Happy Gardening!<\/p>\n
