Common Name
In biology, a common name of a taxon or organism (also known as a vernacular name, English name, colloquial name, country name, popular name, or farmer's name) is a name that is based on the normal language of everyday life; and is often contrasted with the scientific name for the same organism, which is Latinized. A common name is sometimes frequently used, but that is not always the case. In chemistry, IUPAC defines a common name as one that, although it unambiguously defines a chemical, does not follow the current systematic naming convention, such as acetone, systematically 2-propanone, while a vernacular name describes one used in a lab, trade or industry that does not unambiguously describe a single chemical, such as copper sulfate, which may refer to either copper(I) sulfate or copper(II) sulfate. Sometimes common names are created by authorities on one particular subject, in an attempt to make it possible for members of the general public (including such interested par ...

Cymbalaria Muralis
''Cymbalaria muralis'', commonly called ivy-leaved toadflax or Kenilworth ivy, is a low, spreading, viney plant with small purple flowers, native to southern Europe. It belongs to the plantain family (Plantaginaceae), and is introduced in North America, Australia, and elsewhere. The flower stalk is unusual for seeking light until it is fertilized, after which it grows away from the light. Other names include coliseum ivy, Oxford ivy, mother of thousands, pennywort, and wandering sailor. Description and habitat It spreads quickly, growing up to tall – it commonly grows in rock and wall crevices, and along footpaths. The leaves are evergreen, rounded to heart-shaped, long and wide, 3–7-lobed, alternating on thin stems. The flowers are very small but distinctly spurred, similar in shape to snapdragon flowers. Flowers from May to September. File:(MHNT) Cymbalaria muralis.jpg, Plant habit File:(MHNT) Cymbalaria muralis - Leaf.jpg, Leaf File:(MHNT) Cymbalaria muralis - flower.jpg, ...

Kalanchoe Daigremontiana
''Kalanchoe daigremontiana'', formerly known as ''Bryophyllum daigremontianum'' and commonly called mother of thousands, or Mexican hat plant, is a succulent plant native to Madagascar. Like other members of ''Bryophyllum'' (now included in the genus ''Kalanchoe''), it can propagate vegetatively from plantlets that develop on its leaf margins, as well as through upshoots from lateral roots, and seeds. All parts of this species contain a very toxic steroid known as daigremontianin. It is often confused with ''K. laetivirens'', ''K. delagoensis'' and ''K. × houghtonii''. The leaves of '' K. laetivirens'' are completely green, while ''K. daigremontiana'' has bands or spots on the back of leaves. The leaves of '' K. delagoensis'' are linear, while ''K. daigremontiana'' has lanceolate, oblong, ovate or triangular leaves. '' K. × houghtonii'' is a hybrid between ''K. daigremontiana'' and ''K. delagoensis'', therefore has characteristics in between; its leaves are narrower than thos ...

Saxifraga Stolonifera
''Saxifraga stolonifera'' is a perennial flowering plant known by several common names, including creeping saxifrage, strawberry saxifrage, creeping rockfoil, Aaron's beard, mother of thousands, roving sailor, and strawberry begonia or strawberry geraniumUmberto Quattrocchi. ''CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms. Synonyms, and Etymology.'' CRC Press, 1999. p.2395-2396. (it is neither a begonia nor a geranium). Range The plant is native to China, Japan and Korea. But it is widespread in much of the temperate regions of Eurasia and in North America. In their homeland they thrive in forests, in bushes, in meadows, even on rocks, at altitudes of 400 to 4500 meters. It is now used as an ornamental plant worldwide. Description The plant spreads via threadlike red stolon (runners), with plantlets taking root in the vicinity of the mother plant. It is hardy to USDA zone 5. It grows as a perennial herbaceous plant 10 to 20 cm tall, whose inflo ...

Soleirolia Soleirolii
''Soleirolia soleirolii'' (, syn. ''Helxine soleirolii'') is a plant in the nettle family. It has a number of common names, including baby's tears, angel's tears, peace in the home, bits and pieces, bread and cheese, Corsican creeper, Corsican curse, friendship plant, mind-your-own-business, mother of thousands, Paddy's wig, and pollyanna vine.

Description It is a delicate-looking creeping herb with juicy bright green or yellow leaves and multitudes of tiny white flowers. It grows close to the ground in mats and is sometimes used in ornamental gardens alongside ferns and other moisture-loving types of plant. The leaves are usually slightly stalked, about 5 mm across. The minute flowers produce oval seeds.Parnell, J. and Curtis, T. 2012. ''Webb's An Irish Flora.'' Cork University Press. ...
