It may take a while but if you keep practicing the scientific names they will come to you. Some may say the scientific names aren't that important. They aren't until you need to know something about a certain species of tree. In most conversations the common name is enough and nearly every one can recognise the plant you are talking about. I learn the scientific name for my own benifit, to find infomation. or when asking professionals obout a paticular type of plant.
