Re: listed names. As these link to a specific Parent Plant and the sci. name may not be known by the searcher, should both common and sci. names be noted. At least in some instances.

ex. Elephant Ears can be Colocasia, Alocasia, Xanthosoma, Caladium, ... I didn't understand the distinction early on.
Another example, due to unfamiliarity with the common name, might be American Wood Lilies/Trillium. Are there other examples?
