- What are Latin flower names?
-
Latin flower names are the scientific or botanical names of flowers as opposed to the common name. For example, Armeria maritima is the Latin name for sea thrift (a globe-shaped pink flower that grows in coastal areas).
In Latin flower names, the first word is the genus, which is the general type of plant (e.g., Rosa for “roses”). The second word is the species (e.g., Rosa canina). Many flowers go by the genus name (e.g., Agastache—one of the flowers that start with A).
When you write Latin flower names, the first word is capitalized, and the second word is not. Latin flower names should also be in italics. However, you can usually omit the italics and lowercase the first letter if the common name is the same as the genus name.
