When we know a person by name we feel more familiarity or attachment than just he or she in the mind. Same way i feel if we know the names of plants and animals we feel or have more attachment for them. Say when i go outstation and see a sparrow still i feel ha it is the same as Thane, or a kingfisher or even some star in the sky. And then we are happy to have a same campanion as of our residence. But for this i feel that our parents, Grandparents, friends do talk with us related to flora or fauna right from childhood. Not in scientific language but in common language. Or we are curious enough to ask about it. I feel names are present in all language, what is laking is our knowledge about it. I feel that it is our resposibility too to make the people aware about it by giving lectures, or writing articles, arranging naturewalks, going to scholl and talking with kids etc. Madhuri

That is, we name for the sole reason of identifying the object which has gained importance to humankind in some way or the other. Much of the importance lies in relation to human health by way of medicinal values the flora has to provide, closely following is economical importance of the plant (or any part of the plant). This applies to fauna too ... all those creatures whose relation to humans have some kind of importance are certainly named. More comments from friends. Regards.
