Nasturtiums are a prime example of how pseudo-scientific names can be extremely confusing. This fiery flower is called a Nasturtium, which most plant lovers assume is its scientific name. Guess again - the genus Nasturtium is in fact the genus of the watercresses, a different type of plant (Nasturtium microphyllum and Nasturtium officinale) that grows along brooks. So how did this pretty and tasty garden flower
(Tropaeolum majus) end up being called “Nasturtium “ of all things? The answer is in the taste of the spicy leaves and flowers which are used as a easier to obtain substitute for real watercress.
