Common or vernacular plant names are encoded with wisdom and experiences of ancient human societies. The present authors analysed English common names belonging 35 plant species, 29 genera and 23 families of angiosperms, except one being a gymnosperm. These have been have been simultaneously studied with their places of occurrence. Information on past common utilities with respect to sources of food, medicine, gardening or other miscellaneous necessities is unearthed during their critical scrutiny. Further ignorance of common names with respect to origin and development will obviously lead to depletion of the heritage and rich treasure trove of our ancients. The present authors, therefore, appealed for conscientious efforts to carry on investigation on this line for the sake of human welfare. Such investigations will certainly help in formulating the required management plan of the present flora.
