Illusory: compare the supposed Language of flowers, of similar date. --Wetman (talk) 10:04, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That could be added to the see also section. I wonder if there is a connection between this Victorian fascination with 'plant lore' and the recording of clan badges by 19th century writers/historians. I wish i could find more refs as to why certain clans are given such-an-such plants as their badges. I wonder if they are for the most part a Victorian invention, or merely an assumption of what a clan could (or should) have used. I'd like to see it stated somewhere the first reference to a plant being used as a badge of a clan.--Celtus (talk) 09:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On 26 August 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Clan badge to Plant badge. The result of the discussion was moved.

Clan badge → Plant badge – "Clan badge" is sorely ambiguous, and more often refers to clan crest badges (see 2nd column at List of Scottish clans). Since plant badge already redirects here and is a common term, it is the obvious choice. There doesn't seem to be anything to disambiguate from, but I suppose clan plant badge could also work. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 10:28, 26 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

I'm surprised that "There doesn't seem to be anything to disambiguate from"; what do we call the thistle, rose, shamrock, leek? With that caveat, Support. —Tamfang (talk) 00:05, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Probably "national plants". National plant presently redirects to Lists of national symbols AKA List of national emblems which doesn't have an exact "plants" entry, but does have List of national trees and List of national fruits. So we do seem to have a coverage gap here. But these national symbols would probably not be called by the term "plant badge". Oh, wait, Floral emblem is actually a list of national flowers, and should probably be renamed (I just opened an RM on it). But I guess that's still not "plants" generically. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 00:23, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
