"To learn a plant, you must first learn to recognize it. Don't worry about its name. Call it the 'Plant I Stepped on Last Tuesday' ... The purpose of a name is only to communicate to another person what plant you are talking about or to help you remember the plant." — Joyce A. Wardwell, The Herbal Home Remedy Book
