Berkeley [1915-6] --Folk names of plants. Real folk names are not desirable cognomens for even popular use but the demand for common names of our most common plants has been so great, so insistent rather, that I myself have coined or invented a number to meet the demand. Such were as far as possible based on folk lore or folk incidents or discoveries, in great part. Chaparral Lily Fawn Lily Blue Dicks Grass Nut Stink Bells Nigger Babies Flat-Top Alkali Blite Windmill Pink Red Maids Kisses Steer's Head Jackass Clover Stink-weed Fringe-cups Hard-Tack Pea Chaparral White-tip Clover Pin-point Clover Witch's teeth Leather Root Red-berry Deer Brush Blue Blossom Jim Brush Mahala Mats Alkali Mallow Flannel Brush Alkali-Heath Painted lady Golden Eggs Coyote-Thistle Button Thistle Blue-Thistle Coast Eryngo Gamble-weed Dobie Sanicle Turley-Pea Bladder-Parsnip Alkali Parsnip Bear Brush Creek Dogwood Buckthorn-weed Creeping Sage Crimson Sage Pitcher Sage Tule-mint Coyote-mint Blue itch Tobacco Mimulus Wallow-Hyssop Johnny-Nip Johnny-Tuck Creek Senecio Beach Layia Mule-Ears
