A scientific name is an accepted name by the the scientific society, and is understood worldwide. A common name can be different according to where, or which dialect is used. For instance, the Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum) has one scientific name, but several common names, such as: Alum-Root, American Tormentil, Chocolate Flower, Old-Maid's-Nightcap, Fluxweed, Spotted Cranesbill.
