Common names

[edit]

I arrived at the order of common names placed in the article after first doing a google search of:

"bulboschoenus robustus" -wiki -wikipedia -absoluteastronomy -zipcodezoo [the later two are common plant mirror sites of wikipedia], plus each common name in quotes.

These are the results (all the names are mentioned as common names at feis):

  • "saltmarsh bulrush"  52
  • "alkali bulrush"  28
  • "sturdy bulrush"  27
  • "seacoast bulrush"  24
  • "stout bulrush"  5
  • "three-cornered sedge"  2
  • "leafy three-cornered sedge"  2
  • "seaside club-rush"  1

So that's the order I put them in on the page. Perfectly scientific, no. But good enough for now. Change it if you can do better. Hamamelis (talk) 04:49, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
