How FloraLexicon works

  1. Enter a herb name — commonly used in teas, remedies, or traditional medicine.
  2. See how it’s called in different countries — we group local and regional herb names with the countries where each label is used.
  3. Confirm the correct plant using the scientific name — when you need certainty, use the scientific name as a stable check—not the starting point for browsing.

Why names are confusing

The same herb name often refers to different plants depending on country, language, or context. That is especially common with medicinal herbs, teas, and local remedies.

The same plant can carry many different local names across regions and traditions. FloraLexicon helps you see what to ask for in another country, then verify the species when you need certainty.

Built for traditional and medicinal herb use

FloraLexicon focuses on herbs used in teas, remedies, and traditional medicine across cultures. It helps you find the correct local name and confirm the plant — not catalog ornamental species.
