Plant block names associate with Plant names

We have never named the blocks to the scientific name. You could be recalling the behavior in using Alphanumeric blocks, which will include the plant code in the block name.
Our recommended keyboard shortcut for Edit Plant is EE, which makes it very easy to access any placed plant.

Thank you for your reply. Maybe I remember is wrong. Anyway, I do remember when I click on the block, the property of the block shows the plant name, maybe the common name (not the scientific name). I don't quite understand how to use Alphanumeric blocks. Where are those blocks?
Attached is the screenshot of my issue. The tree I am clicking is a Amur Maple tree, but the block name is showing as LAFX-TREE-SIMP-220. I want it shows the Amur Tree directly. Can we do that? Thanks

The Alphanumeric blocks are one of the symbol groups available to you. With those, the Code of the plant will appear in the middle of the symbol, meaning you would not even need to click on it to identify it.
We do not rename the block to match the plant name for a number of reasons -- it would be a long block name, that would have to be exclude illegal characters, and constantly update for every name edit. Further, this would be challenging when assembling a master palette, with multiple blocks with the same plant name.
It is unfortunate that AutoCAD does not display Extended Entity Data in the Properties window, which would resolve this. Revit does do this, it could be you are thinking of that.

In addition to the previous suggestion of using the Edit Plant tool, note that when you click on a plant with the Match Plant tool, the docked Plant Manager highlights the plant chosen.
