People are often astounded that I know the botanical name for a tree, or any other plant. In fact it's the first thing that comes to my mind. I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain this to people, many of them gardeners that should know the value of botanical names. For all it's conciseness, it often seems to lead to baffled looks.
Cheers,
Jim
