  The friends of Geoffrey were unaware that their playful nickname for him
  of Plantagenet would live through the years.  The story is told that while
  disguised in battle, and to make himself known to his followers, he leaned
  from his horse and grasped a sprig of "plante de genet," the common broom corn
  which grew thickly on the heath, and thrust it in his helmet.  Thus he derived
  his popular title.  [Ref: Wurts p200]
  
  It is much to be wished that the surname "plantagenet," which since the time
  of Charles II has been freely given to all the descendants of Geoffrey of
  Anjou, had some historical basis which wuld justify its use, for it forms a
  most convenient method of referring to the Edwardian kings and their numerous
  descendants.  The fact is, however, as has been pointed out by Sir James
  Ramsay and other writers of our day, that the name, although a personal emblem
  of the aforesaid Geoffrey, was never borne by any of his descendants before
  Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York (father of Edward IV), who assumed it,
  apparently about 1448 [Ref: CP I p183]
