Edible Wild Taxonomy

One thing I love about the edible wild plant hobby is learning all the Latin names for the different species. Rumex crispus (Curly Dock) has always been my favorite, just for sounding like it could have ruled Rome if it wanted to.

Here are 10 common wild edibles, as a Byki vocabulary list. If you download Byki Express (which is free) and import the list, the program will help you memorize them via magical memory algorithms.



If you have Byki Deluxe or Express, go to the list home page here, then click the .b4u button on their pages to download the list to your desktop, then launch Byki and choose List -> Import List, or practice directly in your browser via the above link.

I'll create more of these lists as I get more pictures together. In the "More" tab, I linked to Samuel Thayer's website rather than my own blog, because I just started reading his "Nature's Garden" book last night, and was thrilled with the quality. More on that later...
