'Linaria vulgaris' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for 'yellow toadflax'. Other common names include 'common toadflax' and 'butter-and-eggs'. But whether the scientific or the common names are used, the wildflower is known for its environmental friendliness .. and unfriendliness.
The plant is friendly in its colorful coverage of such disturbed and potentially unattractive areas as vacant lots, roadsides and fields. It also serves as pollen and nectar sources to bumblebees [Bombus spp] and hawkmoths [Sphingidae family] and food sources to the caterpillar stages of the bog fritillary [Boloria eunomia] and the Gorgone checkerspot [Chlosyne gorgone].
But it's unfriendly in the enthusiasm with which it quickly improves the view and the land in an area. Specifically, it may not like to share space. So it may not be the best promoter of diverse woody and herbaceous life forms.

What is the scientific name for butter-and-eggs?
'Linaria vulgaris' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for 'butter-and-eggs'. Other common names are 'common toadflax' and 'yellow toadflax'. Whatever the name, the plant has a cheerful yellow-and-orange bloom that clusters at the top of stalks 1 - 3 feet [30.48 centimeters - 0.9144 meters] high.So the wildflower brightens the vacant lots, roadsides, fields and disturbed grounds that it quickly covers. Unfortunately, this may be to the detriment of other herbaceous and woody plants. Specifically, butter-and-eggs may improve the view and the ground, but not the diversity of plant life in an area.
