Just wondering again. (Skipping over any non-English common plant names here) Since ATP reaches people in other English-speaking countries who may have completely different common names, and even here in the USA there are regional differences for common names, why is the common name listed first? I know I am old, half blind and mostly deaf, and feel like I might be beating a dead horse, but shouldn't the common name be the least important thing when doing a sort list? Maybe I am not using the best words to explain myself; here is a link which explains a bit better.
