Thanks. But ... Still don't get it.
Referring explicitly to the monthname column which had many entries
across many years did not work. So taking your clue I created a new
variable list of names of month
month.name<-list(c("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul",
"Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"))
then issued this command
plot(flow~factor(month),xlab="Month",ylab="Total Flow per Month",
ylim=c(0,55000), xaxt="n", axis(1, at=1:12, labels=month.name))
axis() is a separate function to be called *after* the call to plot().

which gave this error
ERROR: 12, labels = month.name)

I have 3 columns: flow, month, and monthname, where month is 1-12,
and
monthname is name of month. I can't get the plot to replace the 1-12
with monthname using ticks.lab. What am I doing wrong?
plot(flow~factor(month),xlab="Month",ylab="Total Flow per Month",
ylim=c(0,55000), ticks.lab="monthname")
ticks.lab is not a parameter to the plot.formula function. You don't
say where you found it described, but I'd suggest you read your source
more closely, or just use xaxt="n" in the plot call, and construct your
own call to axis(), e.g. axis(1, at=1:12, labels=monthname).
