Reply:It may be a strange concept to the younger generation, but how about using a book? The Flora of the British Isles by Rev. Keeble Martin is a superb starting point. I am sure you could pick it up from Amazon quite cheaply in its paperback form. The author spent years travelling Britain personally drawing and painting every common species of wild flower, an amazing task.
Reply:ALL wild flowers - in which country?
Why don'y you go to your local/college library or bookshop and get a book for identification of wild flowers so you can see together the following:
- the picture (%26amp; description, habitat etc)
- the common name (wherever you are)
- the Latin name
Surely in your course, it's not just knowing Latin names that is important, but knowing which flowers they relate to?! Context is important.

They're a mail order seed nursery which specialises in wild flowers and lists them with their latin names.
