Did you even try it? It works - we and R don't give two hoots what the
labels are, just make sure the row and col names of the dataframe/matrix
are what you want to appear on the plot.

Here is an (not exactly inspiring) example:

require(vegan)
set.seed(1)
dat <- data.frame(matrix(runif(100), ncol = 10))
names(dat) <- paste("Spp", 1:10, sep = "")
rownames(dat) <- paste("Site", 1:10)

head(dat)

mod <- metaMDS(dat)
plot(mod, type = "text")
