Hello Neil, Neither am I , I look up several classical texts and books... No problem. matter of fact ever since I started studying Ayurvedic medicine / herbs and learning binomial names and the reconciling them with the traditional and vernacular Indian names has been difficult... if not mind-boggling... often there is a lot of duplication with opposite meaning sometimes... to confuse the issue ... Kalidas named something different from the person who wrote Kadambari...or Ramayana and those concerned with Mahabharata and those who wrote Shushrut and Charak texts originally all those thousands of years ago...
AND then multiply it with the tribal names... when you begin to study some ethnobotany.... Phew!!! That's why a spread sheet with binomial and vernacular names gets soooooo unweildy...
