Cinda I can completely identify with the two finger typing and poor spelling! Way back in school the teacher gave me extra marks if I spelled my name correctly!
I'm going to be in big trouble at work this fall when ALL our work is being switched to the computer. No breaks for me just so I can catch up with the typing.
I do know of the Doctrine of Signatures but many, many plants get names in local or isolated areas where that name is in common use by the people in those particular areas and I was just wondering if lungbane was one of them. I've been asked about plants at work where the person is describing a plant that sounds familiar but I haven't a clue by the name they call it. When they show me a picture I can identify it right away. Where they had come from the people there always called the plants by the names they were using. Most people don't or can't use botanical names because they are long cumbersome and difficult to remember, spell and pronounce.
