Naming Your Plant Species
To create a plant name, consider:
- Do you prefer Latin-sounding or common names?
- Should it reference color, shape, or habitat?
- Will it include “-fern,” “-bloom,” or “-leaf”?
- How many syllables fit taxonomy?
- Does it evoke imagery?
How are plant names generated?
They merge Latin or descriptive roots with botanical suffixes.
Can I specify suffix?
Regenerate until “-fern,” “-bloom,” or similar appears; no direct filter.
Are names realistic?
They mimic botanical conventions without matching real species.
