We can do that, but it will require some workarounds (which I am very happy to do, of course.)

Reason being: for some parent plants, there are multiple latin names. I can't think of any examples off hand but I know they are there. Due to this, I can't tell it to print the latin name since there may be more than one. The question arises: which one do you print? So we have the parent plant simply named what we want it (like "Castor Beans") and leave it at that.

What we did with some of them is put the latin name right in the actual name of the parent plant, for example:



and

Grape Hyacinths (Muscari)

and

Cape Lilies (Nerine)

If we want to do that with more, I can easily add them on a plant-by-plant basis to the ones we desire.
