2. names of trees, plants, herbs (often cultivated for their medical properties):

«a pine» (n.) – O. E. pintreow, the first element from L. pinus, related to Gk. pitys, from pi-, found in words for «fat, sap, pitch».
«a savory» (n.) – «a herb», probably an alteration of O. E. sæþerie, from
L. satureia.
another pre-eminent group of Latin borrowings entered English with the revival of learning (XV– XVI centuries) at the Renaissance times. [8, 124 - 125] Latin was drawn upon the scientific nomenclature. As at that time the language was understood by scientists all over the world, it was considered the common name-language for science. These words were mainly borrowed through books, by people who knew Latin well and tried to preserve the Latin form of the word. Here are the examples:
«an antenna» – appeared in 1646, from L. antenna – «a sail yard», the long yard that sticks up on some sails, translation of Gk. keraiai «insects’ horns». Modern use in radio, etc., is from 1902. (the plural form is «antennae»).
«a phenomenon» – 1576, «a fact, an occurrence», from Latin phaenomenon, from Gk. phainomenon – «something which appears or is seen», noun use of neut. prp. of phainesthai «appear». The meaning
«extraordinary occurrence» first recorded in 1771.The plural form is
«phenomena». Phenomenal – meaning «smth. of the nature of a phenomenon» is from 1825. The shortened form phenom is from the baseball slang, first recorded ca. 1890 [4, 109].
«a formula» – 1638, from L. formula – «a form, rule, method, formula»,
dim. of forma – «a form». Originally, «words used in a ceremony or ritual». The plural form is «formulae».
As we have seen in the stated examples these nouns preserved their original plural inflexion to this day and these forms still exist in the language. A great number of them has suffixes that clearly mark them as Latin borrowings of the time:
