	eBay Guides - Wood Common Names vs. Botanical Names
		Botanical name (or scientific name) means the genus and species of the tree.
		Many woods have 20 or more commonly used names that change depending where the tree is grown and the local language.
		The common name is different depending on whether the tree is harvested from the wild or plantation grown.

	A Modern Herbal - Editor's Introduction
		I have arranged the plants alphabetically under their most familiar names, hoping to interest flower-lovers as well as doctors, and in this way they are as easily found as the words in a dictionary.
		The very names of the plants are so interesting; the names are often derived from their original use in medicine, and the traditional use has been derived from some peculiarity of the plant based on the doctrine of signatures, its shape, growth, colour, scent or taste, or habitat.
		Tussilago Farfara is the botanical name for the Coltsfoot, which is used to cure coughs and colds, and Valerian is derived from the Latin word Valere.

	Exotic Wood Pictures: Exotic Wood displayed, described, and identified
		The thumbnails are intended to convey some sense of the wood, but as you will see from the full images, the variety can be enormous.

	Exotic Wood etimoe
		In any event, it is a West African wood, reportedly used primarily for rubber, but untapped trees are used to produce veneer and lumber.
		There is also a form called "special etimoe" that pretty much deserves the name simply because it doesn't look like any other wood at all.
		I had this in the goncalo alves page for a long time because tigerwood is most commonly associated with that wood, even though neither the vendor nor I believed that this veneer was goncalo alves.

		By comparison, the botanical definition of a nut is: “A type of fruit that consists of one, often edible, hard seed covered with a dry, woody shell that does not split open at maturity.” True nuts include chestnuts, filberts, and acorns.
