Abstract
Plants have been assigned one epithet or name for their species and one name for their genus, a grouping of related species .There are several
etymological sources for the names of the plants. These include sources from Greek, Latin and other languages include the places where it is originally
discovered, the physical or chemical characteristics of the plants, or the persons who discovered them.
Many plants are known by more than one names. In this manuscript, I am going to shed lights on some of the people after whom some of the plants
are named.
