    Alyssum is an English language common name. In Albania the common name for the plant is almost certainly different.

    Yes I realise that .....which is why I always try to have the latin name as well.
    Many plants even in UK have multiple common names.

    I just looked at Wikipedia. It says that synonym for
    Lobularia maritima is Alyssum maritimum. So it looks like the English common name in this case is derived from the plant scientific name. If the same approach had been taken in Albania, the common name for the plant could be Alyssum in Albania, as well :)

    Lobularia maritima is native to Mediterranean region.
