Regionalisms--plant names edition

No, this isn't my answers to the quiz that's going around. I can't see as anyone would find those much more interesting than reading my dreams. But since a lot of y'all seemed to enjoy filling that out, here's some more questions. These are all common plants that are called by different names than I use by at least one person I know.

1. 
2. 
3. 
4.

7. Plantago major
10. Do you have a different name for the smaller, two-tone ones?

7. We do have these around here and I've looked them up before. I think I don't retain the name because it seems too peculiar to me to call something "plaintain" that's nothing like a banana. Similarly, having grown up in Southern California, I call a very different kind of plant a "palm tree." (Actually a set of plants; many of the things people call palm trees in California are not true palms.)

10. Narcissus. I love the name jonquil (which I see that someone else here used); it sounds so victorian. But I never think of it.

I've adopted the habit of calling the the weed a /'pl%ntn/ (with initial stress) and the food a /pl%n'teyn/ (with final stress). I'd the only one I know who does this. As kids, we called the local plaintains "shooter-weeds".

If you like Victorian-sounding terms, the traditional English name for the P. major is "waybread". (Not that it has anything to do with "bread", though; the second element is related to "broad", so the name means "a broad-leafed plant that grows on the wayside". Plaintains do well in disturbed soils.)
