List of plants by common name

List of plants by common name

The common names of plants often vary from region to region, which is why most plant encyclopedias refer to plants using their scientific names: binomials, or "Latin" names.

Many plants have several common names, and many common names refer to several distinct plants. This list includes garden plants as well as weeds.

This is not a complete list. Most of the common names here so far are regional names in use in North America.
