The common names of plants often cause difficulties for translators
or those engaged in international studies. Although used because
they are easier for non-scientists to remember than Latin or
Linnean names, one species may have several common names or one
common name may be used for several species. The problem is greater
for weed scientists because the confusion over common names can
lead to misunderstandings over control measures or the importance
of weed species. The proposal to list the common names of weeds in
the European languages was made in 1972 by the Joint Panel of the
Evaluation of Herbicides of the European Plant Protection
Organisation, and the work continued by the Working Group on
Education and Training of the European Weed Research Society. The
result of their labours appears in two volumes. The first is
Elsevier's Dictionary of Weeds of Western Europe which was
published in 1982, since when it has been a valuable source of
information on the common names and importance of weed species in
the countries of Western Europe. Its companion volume is this new
Dictionary of Weeds of Eastern Europe. Although several books exist
which give common names of plants, there are none which have the
range of languages covered in these two volumes or provide
information on the importance of weed species. The new dictionary
will undoubtedly prove to be as welcome and as useful as its
predecessor to translators, weed/crop protection scientists,
botanists, ecologists, and others.
