Bushes and Shrubs Listed by Scientific, Botanical or Latin Name
Botanical, Latin, Scientific shrub names listed alphabetically; (or list by Common Name).
The plant kingdom is divided & classified according to division, order, family, subfamily, genus, species and sub-species. Some scientific shrub names on this
list show only the genus, and some identify both the genus and the species. This is due to the way in which we have constructed this table, to avoid it becoming
extremely long. To see all the species within a genus, simply click the name and another table will show.
