I'm a "city" person. I don't like Nature and Nature doesn't like me. I can still distinguish different types of trees from one another.
In a fantasy world setting, or in any pre-industrial setting in fiction, people spent a lot more time outdoors. I suspect that 10 out of 10 people in those settings could tell the trees apart.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I noticed it for the first time on my reread, but only because I don't know wtf "leatherleaf" is.
