You can use AutoCorrect. In the AutoCorrect as You Type list, enter the
English name in the left column: in the right column, enter the English name
followed by the Latin name as you need it to appear.

When you type the English name and press the Spacebar, the AutoCorrect
function will enter the full details. For plants with extra long English
names, you can 'cheat' and use a easily remembers short name so that you can
type that and press enter to get the full caboose.

For example you can use 'occi' as your shortcut and when you type it and
press space, it will enter Rhododendron occidentale or something along those
lines. Just make sure the shortcuts are really memorable and obvious and
comprise at least four letter.
