Why are herbs written in Latin?

Depending on where you live and your heritage, plants have many different common names. For example: Milk Thistle is also known to some as St Mary's Thistle or Marian Thistle. Sometimes, two different plants have the same common name. For example: Knitbone could be either Symphytum offinalis or Eupatorium perfoliatum. Having latin names makes it easier to communicate which herb we are talking about, and to prevent dangerous adverse effects if you plan on using them for food or medicine. Knowing the plant family is also helpful because some people are allergic to certain plant families.
