All living things should be addressed by their Latin names.

You won't find too many people who know the scientific names for any of their plants. For me, the scientific name mostly has a place when talking about different species within a genus. For example, you wouldn't just say "sundew" when talking about a D. capensis or another specific species as you wouldn't know what you are talking about. However, other plants, such as miracle fruit plants or fly traps are easily recognizable by their common names and it's perfectly acceptable to use them.
