the question is far to broad, there are literally tens of thousands of different (individual) plants.

"common names" of plants are not used in botany as the common name of a specific plant may vary from region to region or country to country.

for example "daisy", this is a very broad term that describes thousands of plants, for scientific purposes it cannot be used to name a plant.

Sometimes the "original" name of the plant is either incorporated into the scientific name, or derived from the scientific/ botanical name.

eg. Rosmarinus is the genus name for the plant we all call Rosemary, as is the herb Basil, which has the botanical name Occium basillicum. This is however not the "rule".
