Ninebark = Physocarpus capitatus

Liriope = Liriope

Hosta = "Hosta la vista, baby." :p

If you use the botanical names there is no need for translation..that is why we have botanical names.

exactly...Latin may be a dead language for all intensive purposes, but it is the root language for spanish, english, french, italian, portugeuse, etc. etc. using it fro scientific terms, plant identification included,was the way it could span all of the above mentioned names. As far as common names go, you can either teach your workers these, or the botanical name. Recognize that even among english speakers, some plants have a multitude of common names, so it is best to teach them what you are specifically calling them yourself if that is the way you choose to go (common names).
