A Rose by any other name?

Artemisia abrotanum.

I suppose this is as good an example of the need for Latin as any-one could offer.
When Ah waz a lad... "Mother" had a plant in the garden, which she called "Sutterenwood", occasionally "Lad'slove".
I ought to point out that our biological mother was "Mam" and grandmothers were, almost universally referred to as / called "Mother".

For many years I knew it as nothing else. The old lass had a nomenclature system all her own, many plants identifies only by the donor. Bergenia was known as Mrs. Salt, we had one (I forget which) called Nanna Rea.

Later I discovered Sutterenwood was also known as wormwood. We had one in our front garden for many years until Big Bill moved/widened the drive and we lost it.
We've tried for long enough to replace it, but could never find it: it was always something posh like "Powis Castle" or similar, which looked the part but didn't pong right. Eventually/recently we found one by accident at a farmers' market.
"Smell that." says I
"That's IT!" said Gaffer.

Gaffer decided to look it up.
Where all the other names appeared ...
Southernwood, (Whence came the corruption "Sutterenwood") Sweet Benjamin, Medicinal wormwood, Sabbath day posy, Slovenwood, Maiden's ruin, Maid's love, Maid's passion, Boy's love, Lad's love, Old man, Tall wormwood.
"Tall"? the same page as held the array of names told us "1m max. height"

We then discovered them over there call it "Sagebrush".
Thank the Lord for Carl Linnaeus.
