Our entry for Ricinus communis is called Castor Beans, with no indication of the Latin name.

Castor Beans (Ricinus communis)

A member asks why something is identified only by the common name, especially in view of the international status of our database. The page does come up in a search for Ricinus communis, but the common name "Castor Beans" was not familiar to the member, so it seemed confusing. Shouldn't there be some Latin identification of the plant on the generic page for that custom database?
