I really enjoyed this article. I also love botanical names and I took Latin in school, so they're not as difficult for me to learn as they are for other people. I also love common names of all languages.
I think you might appreciate this paper, "New Plants, New Resources, New Knowledge: Early Introductions of Exotic Plants to Indigenous Territories in Northwestern North America"
The author discusses how indigenous people incorporated new plants from Europeans not just into their diets and gardens but into their languages by giving them their own names.
