Yes, I understand that now. Still, it's very off-putting to the likes of me
to see all that Latin in a post, and I tend to skip them.....possibly
missing some useful info.

Botanical names are no harder, in principle, to cope with than
vernacular names. All you have to do is not let them intimidate you.

And learn some of the meanings - not too hard for us english since so
many english words are derived from lain roots. A lot of plants are
given descriptive names - eg maculatum = marked or spotted, striatum =
striped, alba = white, sylvatica = living in woods
