Scientific Plant Name Quiz

Welcome to the scientific plant name quiz. If you're a novice botanist, you can take a scientific plant name quiz to see how much you really know about plants. Depending on the region, a plant may have several common names, or it might have a single scientific name. Whether it's an alien species or a native species, you can use scientific names to find out which species belong to which family.

If you want to learn about plants and their names, you should study their scientific names. Many common names can confuse the average person, making it vital that you learn their correct names. A good way to start is by practicing your common knowledge of plants. Some common names may be close enough to a plant's scientific name, but you'll find that many of them aren't.

If you're a botanist, you should know how to name plants by their scientific names. They're made up of a genus and a specific epithet, which can be confusing. For example, if a plant's common name is "snowball bush," this could mean either a type of viburnum or a type of hydrangea.
