Why are all the plant signs in the park in Latin?

That's the scientific name of plants. The scientific names of plants are all named in Latin. That is the legendary binomial method, probably because the languages of different countries are different. As we all know, most languages in the world have evolved from Latin, which may be for the convenience of people in European countries (excluding Asian languages, of course, which made Asia academically backward at that time). The international scientific name of plants is "binomial method" founded by Linnaeus, that is, the scientific name of plants is unified by genus name. We know that there are many kinds of plants in the world, and the languages of different countries are different, so the names of plants are different. Even in a country, it is absolutely necessary to use botanical names in a unified way for scientific and technological exchanges. Mastering the scientific names of plants not only helps to understand the genetic relationship and morphological characteristics of plants, but also helps to master the effective components of plants, because many chemical component names of plants come from the common names of plants, such as Berberis Berberis. Another example is aconitine (aconitine), aconitine, neoaconitine, etc. It can be clearly seen from the Chinese and foreign names that there is a close relationship with the generic names of Aconitum, which is particularly noteworthy for pharmaceutical students.
