Suani You shouldn't need to post this as a question. The whole point of using Latin names is that they're international: you can look up the common name in your own language, Googling being the most obvious way to do this.

@Suani Please enter a new question for the colletia paradoxa so both plants can be entered in the glossary. Thanks!

Baccharis trimera (Carqueja), Colletia paradoxa (Anchor plant).

I believe broom usually refers to the scoparius (e.g. Sarothamnus scoparius) or to Spartium junceum.

Thanks, Rachel :)
agree Stephen D. Moore : IMPORTANT: Common names vary greatly within the same language. It is essential to include the scientific name (both genus and species,) which never changes. The common names Cristina cites are both valid, but be sure to include the scientific.

Thanks, Stephen. You are right about the common names, there are quite a few for both plants. I picked the ones with the most google hits. :)
