Societal Impact Statement Plant awareness disparity is a widespread phenomenon in modern societies. It erroneously implies that plants are not necessary for humans. Understanding what people know and can describe crucial evaluating one of four central aspects plant disparity. This study proposes new methodology assessing the knowledge online by analysing vocabulary used to name plants. Despite high number listed plants, both names were homogenised limited. Educational effort needed enhance so become subject conversation. Summary addresses methodological gap studies examining adult from eco‐semiotic quantitative linguistic perspectives. how they do this bridging addressing The novel involved responses an questionnaire distributed residents Tartu, Estonia. covered various knowledge, including ability list, explain importance different categories: wild trees shrubs, herbs cultivated shrubs. Data analysis included word count, contextual mapping plant‐related participants. found significant diversity named 149 participants, with 74 tree taxa 225 herb mentioned. Cultivated shrubs also widely recognised (168 taxa). Most descriptions focused on parts such as leaves flowers, demonstrating rather poor vocabulary. highlighted influence personal experiences, cultural practices educational background knowledge. results indicate robust among study's likely influenced Local Ecological Knowledge comprehensive school curricula botany.
