520 |a <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The perception and use of plants correspond with common plant names. The study of plant names may give insight into historical and recent use of plants.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Plant names in dictionaries and folklore have been evaluated. A etymological analysis of the names is provided. Onomasiological and semasiological aspects have been considered. Therefore, species named with names related to each other have been selected.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Plant names containing the stem <it>dag</it>- or <it>deg</it>- may belong to either of two categories: incenses or thorny plants. Plants named in <it>durn</it>- have been in use as psychopharmaca. The name <it>rymo </it>points not to Rome but to the use of plants as anodyne or psychopharmaca.</p>
