I wish this blog would make communications easier like Flickr. However feedback comes anyway by other means.

Q & A

Q. Why romanize Thai names like หูควายขาว as “hŏo kwaai kăao” rather than “hu khwai khao” like most people and sites do ?

A. Two good reasons, always in the spirit of making things easily understandable : 

1. 1. One is with tone marks, the other without  tone mark. These help in the pronunciation.

This is equivalent to the Chinese romanization. For instance 柳叶紫珠 Liǔ yè zǐ zhū, instead of Liu ye zi zhu. Omitting the tone marks does not usually allow reverse searching for scripted names. I suggest to doubters to experiment with Google search for proof. Although searching for romanized names from original script is not 100 % sure to return the correct romanization,  it is 99% sure. A notorious Failed is the character 长 still associated with Zhǎng instead of Cháng when expressing “long”.

1. 2. The italic option is to distinguish our version from others by showing that it has been checked with a good comprehensive Thai reference.                  

Our wish would be to have such good references in Arabic, Hebrew, etc. but either we have not found any or we have not been able to use existing ones due to the difficulties of utilisation.

Q. What on earth possessed you to start a task like this ?

(this is a comment that has been directed at me many times).

A. An unusual non technical question but a welcome philosophical invitation to reveal the motivation behind it all. At the beginning there was an urge to teach and to write. Conventional teaching was too restricted by rules and corrupted by an over dominant capitalistic society.

Conventional writing; substantial books on technical matters are fine but extremely dear and restricted to the privilege minorities. Computers on the other hand are popular and accessible to a much greater slice of the world population, more over languages are a minimal obstruction. Translations are easy with computers, very expensive when it come to books. So the basic desire being to produce a non discriminatory work the choice was easily made.

“FATE” came in the form of 2 facts. An introduction into the University of Melbourne by the late Dr. Uwe Radok , a brilliant meteorologist, at the time when academia was not quite dominated by managers and accountants. About a decade later an introduction into the world of agriculture and horticulture by Prof. Glyn Rimminton, an agriculturist now famous in many parts of the world across a number of disciplines.

The influences of the hundreds of people met during those years within and outside academia led to the concept of the Multilingual Multiscript Plant Name Database and to its implementation. The fact that twenty years later there is still no equal work anywhere responding to all the nomenclatural needs met by the MMPND is the most rewarding feeling and a source of greatest personal satisfaction. This is why the concept has been revived in 2024 in the present form.

Question and answer

 

On AI and economic nomenclature

The references are barely posted and already the main criticism relates to the following specific topic. (Identity of enquirer has been hidden).

Q. Looks like we have sold out to AI don’t we ?

A. It may look like it but it is far from the reality. I have always stated that AI is not doing a decent job in botanical nomenclature. This does not prevent me from using its online capabilities. I am sometimes pleasantly surprised by the depth of backgound given on some specific botanical topics. Finding a common name to match a scientific name, AI can mostly handle, but pairing a common name with another in a different language is often a disaster. This is explained by the facts that generally sites (or books) dealing with “Botany” neglect the vernacular. Similarly when common names are the focus, the taxonomy is poor or ignored altogether. There are exceptions but not enough of them for AI to exploit.

This is where the “hortibloke” becomes useful by matching the vernacular and science with his “sorting” of names.

A recent flood of enquiries of mine to AI has highlighted another of its weaknesses. Some languages such as Azerbaijani for instance have few online resources, especially botanical texts. This makes AI task difficult.

To complicate matters further, when in its Perso-Arabic script (Azerbaijani Arabic) form, the vocabulary is confused with Persian by translating devices. This is understandable given the closeness of the “two” languages with only regional differences. This is reminiscent of the various languages based on Malay. These  linguistic distinctions are especially important if plant names have to be precisely matched to botanical names.

Q. Why don’t you have anything on avocado, fig etc. Things that are commonly grown ?

 

A. My first answer would be “fair dinkum mate” there are millions of edible plants to cover. Together with their wild relatives, which need to be treated, we are looking at trillions of plants. In the last decade or so another factor has popped up more evidently than in the past : lost of biodiversity. Species are already considered lost or in danger of extinction, so concentrating on “economic plants” (cultivated for a purpose) is not enough. HUGE PROGRAM.

There is only one person to do the job. Not a robot able to brass giga bits of data. 

All you have to do is post a request and I’ll get going on Avocados, Figs or others as soon as time permits.

The second answer less positive perhaps, is that since I started these updates two years ago it has appeared that the taxonomy shifted a little too much in general. At the same time the taxonomy below the specific level has been neglected by taxonomists. This is in part due to a tendency to reduce the number of species. I recall the outrageous reduction of hundreds of Citrus varieties to less than half a dozen. 

In this context it is sometimes too difficult to deal with cultivar names and cultivar groups. This is the basic information that the horticultural community needs to know but will have great difficulties accessing, despite the best efforts of some of us.

Questions & answers & Re-introduction to the work.

 

Introduction to this new work 

As stated on several other pages of this blog, this work is not meant  to be regarded as a “dictionary” or an authoritative lexicon with the definitive answer to all manners of translation, transliteration, transcription, conversion etc. It is a serious preparatory compiling of names, which can mostly be found on the internet, therefore which are relevant to people around the world, excepted for a handful of truely academic “common names” meaningful only to scientists, or in the absence of any common name, some suggested names. The professional aspect of this work is that it is based on “current” botanical nomenclature. The listing of most botanical synonyms should help in the continual understanding of the concepts through the various taxonomic upgrades, at least over the next few years.

The aim is to prepare the work of serious professional lexicographers who will be game enough to tackle these problems of applied linguistics. A word of warning : it is not as simple as feeding all the names to an AI robot and expect miracles. There will always be a need for human supervision, as long as we value accurate orthographic and meaningful translation.

This work is offered free of charge to anyone interested. I am only hoping that the source will be acknowledged as it should.

Questions & Answers

(As they come, in no particular order).

Q : I have read on the internet that the process of romanization does not help in understanding foreign scripted words. Your view ?

Absolutely false. Without this I could never have done the work on the M.M.P.N.D. 30 + years of handling 50 + languages must count for something.

Q : You appear to have doubts about the reliability of the Botanical names. Care to comment ?

I have far more doubts about common names. But this is understandable. I always cringe when academics put down vernacular and boast about the reliability of Botanical names. True they are more reliable but not perfect. Again this is understandable. Botanical Latin being based on a dynamic science are bound to evolve. The two leading world databases such as Plants of the World Online and World Flora Online struggle with this. I understand that they wish to combine their efforts and merge their data which differ ever so slightly. This will make our life easier, as long as the customer friendly approach of the WFO is maintained.

Q : It would appear that you oversimplify the botanical synonymy, care to comment ?

Yes you are correct, and I justify this by sticking to taxa that I know match common names. If anyone is a fan of botanical synonymy I recommend that you check, among numerous other examples, the subspecific levels of Urtica dioica. Honestly it is a dog breakfast. Most of those subsp. and var. would not match any common name but moreover it would confuse anybody trying to do this work. Generally my approach is to find either a common name in any language or a botanical name. This is the beginning of a long process. It is unusual to start with a subspecific name. These come later, when the botanical name turns out to be superseded, reduced to a synonym, is a subspecific name, or simply illegitimate. The spelling can also be wrong, experience here is key to actually knowing what is what. 

To sum up : avoiding all these superfluous taxa makes the compilation much clearer.

Q :  Why don’t you have indexes ?

The short answer is because I have neither the hardware nor the software to generate them, not yet anyhow.

I have published a Japanese and a Russian indexes of Acacias, and most recently a Greek index, as an experiment, hoping for some feedback. So far no reaction.

Generally speaking any file dedicated to a genus is a mega index which can be searched with the “Search in Page” command, in any language in any script. If a botanical name has been changed (updated) the new one will be given. It is then just a matter of jumping to a new page. Not ideal I know, but better than nothing.

Q :  I find it frustrating that you do not have at least an English index. why ?

Short answer : because this is not a proper database. We have no way of generating a dynamic partial index, a full index would be too bulky.

Long answer : In the permanent absence of a comprehensive English index on this blog, we suggest searching as follows.

Step one : starting from an English name with the Wikipedia page 

< https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_plants_by_common_name > ,  retrieve (copy) the generic (genus) name.

Step two : open our list of genera 

< https://hortibloke.blogspot.com/2025/06/locating-genus-and-its-related-names.html > and do a search in page, pasting the generic name in the window.

Step three : if the common name is not in Wikipedia, Google search it.

Step four : if the genus is not in our list PLEASE let us know.
