=Common Names of a Selected List of Plants=[1]
Kling L. Anderson and Clenton E. Owensby[2]
Common names of plants often vary widely from place to place, even
within rather limited areas. Frequently-occurring and widely-known
species may have local names, or the same name may be used for several
species. Common names, therefore, often fail to identify plants
accurately. That makes it difficult to communicate about plants; the
confusion may even discontinue attempts to convey ideas about the
subject. Conversations may shift to a subject with an adequate common
nomenclature.
Scientific names are essential in formal writing. When common names are
to be used, as in less formal publications, scientific names must also
be given either at the place where the common ones first appear in the
paper, in a footnote, or in an appended list. Only scientific names
identify the species for all readers. In completely informal writing
for a broad area, scientific names may be omitted.
Since common names are so widely used, they should be used as uniformly
as possible. The following common names are considered “standardized”
for all writing in the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station and may
also be used as a guide in teaching. A single common name is given to
each plant listed if it has such a name.
This list grew from an earlier Kansas list of grasses and legumes that
emphasized chiefly range and pasture plants. It is extended here to
include most plant families and genera that occur in Kansas and many
species that do not necessarily occur in Kansas but may be important or
closely related to those listed. Obviously, not all Kansas plants could
be included, and therefore many minor plants have been omitted. Species
not obviously important had to be somewhat arbitrary. Perhaps certain
species listed could have been omitted and others not included might
have been added. The list can, therefore, grow or be altered as need
for change is shown. If further information on common names is needed,
the Kelsey and Dayton 1942 edition of Standardized Plant Names[3]
should be consulted.
=Genus Common Names=
In preparing this list, we attempted to give a single common name to
each genus and to use it in connection with common names for each
of the species listed under that genus. For example, brome for the
genus, _Bromus_, and various species such as smooth brome and hairy
brome. Thus, there are two words for species names. However, common
names of some species are single words and may not bear the generic
name at all; for example, switchgrass, curlymesquite, catchflygrass,
darnel, needleandthread, berseem, and horsebean. Some genera have
more than one common name, but in that case the genus is subdivided
into different types, each with its own common name. For example,
most species of the genus _Panicum_ are called panicum, but certain
others are witchgrass; _Melica_ is melic, but bulbous species of that
genus are called oniongrass; and _Setaria_ is bristlegrass, but the
name millet is applied to certain ones. Some poisonous species of
_Astragalus_ are called loco, but nonpoisonous ones are milkvetch and
the selenium-gathering ones, poisonvetch. In a few cases the same
common name is applied to two genera, but that generally occurs only
when the genera involved are closely related. They may formerly have
been considered a single genus.
The words tree, grass, bean, seed, etc. are combined with key words
to make common names of many genera and species. Examples of the
former are dropseed, cupgrass, tanglehead, peavine, wildindigo,
coffeetree, and sensitivebriar; and of the latter, breadroot scurfpea,
splitbeard bluestem, shortawn foxtail, and smoothseed wildbean.
Hyphens are avoided except in a few cases where they are used to make
spelling, meaning, or pronunciation more clearly understood. Some
examples are s-curve threeawn, blue-eyedgrass, climbing-buckwheat,
dutchmans-breeches, snow-on-the-mountain, fat-hen saltbrush,
false-alyssum.
=Species Common Names=
The common name for an individual species is a contraction of the
genus common name and, in most cases, a descriptive adjective for a
particular species. An example is the common name for _Bromus inermis_
The common name for the genus is brome and the descriptive adjective
associated with the species name _inermis_ is smooth, hence smooth
brome is the common name for that species.
In many cases a satisfactory common name did not exist for a particular
species, yet the species name’s English meaning described the plant
well. Such plants were given common names based on the meaning of
their species name. An example is _Lygodesmia rostrata_. It has no
satisfactory common name. In this publication it is called beaked
skeletonplant, based on the English meaning of _rostrata_ and the
accepted common name for the genus, skeletonplant.
=Capitalization=
In general, capitals are avoided for common plant names. They are not
used where proper nouns are combined with such words as grass, tree,
bean, etc., for example, bermudagrass, indiangrass, johnsongrass, but
are used when the name is that of a country, state, or other place
and is a separate word as in Virginia wildrye, Texas bean, California
burclover, and Missouri milkvetch. They are not used, however, when
the name is derived from a man’s name; for example, lambert crazyweed,
dillen tickclover, chewings fescue, and lehmann lovegrass. Capitals
are, of course, used for proper names of strains or varieties, but such
usage is beyond the scope of this list. The few exceptions to all of
these “rules” are dictated by firmly established usage.
=Authorities=
To identify each species as definitely as possible, authorities are
given for scientific names. Authorities for grass names are from
Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.[4] The others were compiled from various
sources by Dr. L. C. Hulbert, Department of Botany, Kansas State
University, chiefly from these sources: Gray’s Manual, 8th ed.,[5]
The New Illustrated Britton and Brown,[6] and Harrington’s Manual.[7]
Occasionally other sources were used for a few or for single species.
Since authorities were taken directly from the various sources
without change, some differences in abbreviation occur. For example,
Hitchcock’s manual abbreviates Humboldt, Bonpland, and Kunth as H.B.K.,
while most other manuals consulted use HBK. Certain other names may be
spelled fully in one manual and abbreviated in others.
=Common Name Sources=
Several workers helped with selecting plants to be included and common
names for them. For the most part, the common names are those used in
Kelsey and Dayton, Standardized Plant Names (SPN).[8] However, common
names of some species are so different and are so firmly entrenched
in common usage that the names given in SPN could not be used in this
list. An example is “broomsedge” for _Andropogon virginicus_. In SPN
it is “yellowsedge bluestem,” a name never heard in the area this list
serves.

[15] A complex, including _B. californicus_ Nutt. ex
Buckl., _B. marginatus_ Nees, _B. maritimus_ (Piper)
Hitchc., and _B. polyanthus_ Scribn.
[16] Includes _B. richardsoni_ Link.
[17] In written material in which _B. inermis_ is the only
_Bromus_ species discussed, its common name may be
shortened to brome.
[18] Not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[19] Not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[20] Spp. with stiff spreading spikes are called
windmillgrass.
[21] The name “fingergrass” applied to erect spp.
[22] Not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[23] The name _H. nodosum_ has generally been misapplied to
_H. brachyantherum_ in this country.
[24] The name “oniongrass” applied to those spp. with
bulblike stem bases.
[25] _M. foliosa_ is a name formerly applied to _M.
mexicana_. _M. mexicana_ was then misapplied to the
recently recognized _M. frondosa_ (Poir.) Fernald,
which it resembles.
[26] Considered to be a form of _M. richardsonis_ (Trin.)
Rydb., see 1951 ed. of Hitchcock’s manual, p. 382.
[27] Listed as _P. fluitans_ (Ell.) Kunth on p. 602 of
Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[28] Listed as _P. typhoides_, Stapf and Hubbard, page 74
USDA Handbook 170, “Grass varieties in the U.S.,”
June, 1965.
[29] Older name, now listed as _P. setaceum_, p. 729 in
Hitchcock’s 1951 manual.
[30] Included in _Tricholaena_ in some manuals.
[31] In some areas certain _Setaria_ spp. have been called
foxtail, but to avoid confusion, that common name
should be reserved to the genus _Alopecurus_.
[32] These three species are sometimes called foxtail.
[33] Listed as _S. glauca_ (L.) Beauv. in Gray’s Manual,
8th Ed. p. 226, and on p. 235, Vol. I, of the New

p. 234, and on p. 244 in Vol. I of the New Britton &
Brown, 1952.
[35] _Sorghum almum_ is not listed in Hitchcock’s 1951
manual. Parodi, in his 1943 paper, concluded that
it must have originated as a hybrid between _S.
halepense_ and some other sorghum.

Transcriber’s Note:
Words and phrases in italics are surrounded by underscores, _like
this_. Those in bold are surrounded by equal signs, =like this=.
Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and were moved to the end of
the section in which the anchor occurs. Footnotes [9], [11], [18],
[19], [22], and [32] have multiple anchors. Obvious printing errors,
such as backwards, upside down, or partially printed letters and
punctuation, were corrected. Letters in reversed order and several
italics mark-ups were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of
abbreviations were added.
Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent
hyphenation in the text. These have been left unchanged unless
indicated below. Obsolete and alternative spellings were left
unchanged. Misspelled words were not corrected. In the lists of common
names, names are often run together, as in climbingmilkweed and
rattlesnakefern; these were not changed.
The following was changed: “small-loaved” to “small-leaved.”

from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of
the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set
forth in Section 3 below.
1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right
of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
without further opportunities to fix the problem.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
remaining provisions.
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in
accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the

electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
