Depending on where you live and who you talk to there arc about IS different plants named "pigweed" and at least a dozen "sourgrasses" and who knows how many "wild spi naches?" I know several, includ ing dock, lamb's quarters and even poke. Poke always presents problems to novice weed eaters because even some authors who are writers and not botanists think that the words "poke sallei" belong in a "hillbilly cookbook." There is in fact a recipe collection called "Things Yankees Ain't Never El" which can be found in every gift shop and tourist trap in the Caroli na mountains. But in fact, the word "sallct" came over on the May flower! It is an old English word that means "cooked greens." So those in the know realize that poke must be cooked in at least one or two changes of water to avoid gastric distress (or as they say, nausea) and not used in a salad. Because of all the confusion of regional names for various plants, a binominal classification of two word labeling system for plants and animals was devised. It works pretty good, too. In France the dandelion is called "pis-en-lit" and the Spanish speakers call it "arma gon," but no matter where you are, the botanical name is Taraxicum officinale, which translates out from the Latin as the "official cure for disorders." The scientific names are universal no matter whether the persons involved use the same alphabet we do or sym bols like those found in Oriental and Arabic writings. Even with these "chicken scratch" (not a derogatory description) writings, the botanical names are still the same and written in letters we can read. These too can be confusing, but there are some clues. In "plain English" any time we sec the ending "wort"on aplant'snamc, it means the plant is used in herbal medicine or as a food plant. The ending "banc" means dial il is somehow poisonous. Examples are woifbanc, dogbane and llea banc. All of these have some toxic property. At one time plants were given names which indicated a pari of the body they might have an effect on. 1he "doctrine of sun pies" surmised that if a plain looked like a certain bodily organ it would be effective in maladies of that organ. An example of dux is hepatica or liverwort with its thrcc-lobcd growth pattern rcscm bling the three lobes of our liver. Scientific names can provide us with clues, too. Any plant ending in "officinale" has been used and recognized somewhere as an offi cial drug or remedy and is listed in some governments* pharmacopeia (list of drugs and treatments). All plants with "edulis" in their name indicates usage as a food plant, while "linctoria" tells us this plant provides some dye to as. "Virosa" means poison. Other words describe a plant's growth pattern. "Procumbcns" means it grows widespread along the ground, and "tuberosa" clues us in to the fact that this plant will have very large underground parts. Two plants with this clue are Hclianthus tuberosa or Jerusalem artichoke and Asclepias tuberosa or butterf ly root, also known as pleurisy root because it is used in complaints of the breathing system. An ending of "communis" tells us that a plant is widespread, while "sylvaticus" indicates a woodland growth pattern. We have several common wld plants around here to which we can apply these guidelines. A wild aster known as "fleabanc" was used for repelling these nasty little biters. The lovely wet habitat plant. Orange Milkwort, was once used to increase the flow of milk in nursing mothers, and Ebony spleen wort, a fern, was used in ail ments of this organ. "Sanguinaria" which means "bleeding" is the name of our spring wildflower bloodroot. Called "puccoon" by T\i Continued on Page 6 I flUl) PROGRESSIVE jiltig' SAVINGS & LOAN. LTD.
