thank you!

There are stock Graphic Legends in the VW Libraries that already display Common Name + Latin Name:

For the other parameters you want to display use #Plant Record#.#Mature Height##Plant Record#.#Mature Spread#.

Why are you using the legend when you could use a Report?  There are preconfigured reports that make pretty good plant lists with symbol images built into the software.

Thanks Tom! I am new to Legend tool, would you please explain me where to find the graphic legend you've attached above please? And how can I add the other paramenters?

You'd be best to invest an hour or two swotting up on Graphic Legends if you've not done so already. They are very powerful but quite complex. Have a look at these Coffee Breaks on the University:

And VW Help of course.
