【摘要】：本文主要讨论植物名称的理据问题，即某植物为什么获得这个名称的原因，对英汉植物命名理据进行对比。通过对植物名称的分析确定了英汉植物名称命名理据的六种基本类型：形体、纹色、生长环境、生长习性、性质（气味、滋味、质地、其它性质）和功能用途（药用、食用、他用）。除此之外，英语植物名也有以神话传说和人名为理据的。研究发现，英汉植物的命名理据均体现了一些一般性选择规律：视觉感知优先，功能次之；视觉中形体优先；形体中形态优先。同时，英汉植物命名有着隐喻性思维、具象性和简洁性的共同点。除了这些相似性之外，，本文分析了命名理据背后折射的文化差异并予以解释：（1）中国的龙凤崇拜；（2）中西方不同的社会等级观念；（3）古希腊神话对西方文化的深远影响；（4）家喻户晓的《圣经》对英语植物命名的影响；（5）西方追求科学和理性的精神，表现在一些英语植物名以在植物领域作出贡献的人的人名命名。
