Common names: Currently, species are listed on these pages only with scientific names. Scientific names--although they do change occasionally--are the most reliable way to refer to species of organisms. You may search the GRIN database for common names to determine the scientific name of a plant, or ITIS for the names of plants or other organisms. If these searches do not provide the information you need, you may also search the web for the name. You may also search the HEAR website by common name.
