The article analyses Slovak phytonyms derived of the word медведь ‘bear’. In F. Buffa’s dictionary there are only six of them for three plants. Equally, not numerous one from A. Bernolak’s dictionary are coinciding with them; neither do the denotatums. The Slovak material is typical for Western Slavonic area; Southern and Eastern Slavonic “bear” phytonyms are much more numerous. An important problem in plant nomination is Latin calques. The brightest cases are the names for bearberry, wild garlic, cow-parsnip, calques of which entered the national botanical nomenclatures of the most European languages. In this aspect, the Slovak phytonymical system also demonstrates unanimity with Slavonic and other European languages.
