--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.
