All folk names listed in the encyclopedia are arranged here in alphabetical order, followed by the common name by which each plant is identified in the work. Some folk names may apply in two or three distinct plants; when this is the case, these have been listed in alphabetical order.
In determining which plant to use (in the above situation), use logic; if a spell calls for Aaron’s rod and relates to graveyards, mullein would be a better choice rather than goldenrod, which has few such associations.
