Hey mate! Here is your answer:
The process of naming plants based on international rules proposed by botanists to ensure stable and universal system is called botanical nomenclature. It is an essential process to overcome the problems of common names. The botanists agreed to lay down certain rules and conditions. The main suggestion was that language should be in Latin as it is not a national language of any country and moreover it is dead language. A lot of previous literature is written in Latin. The ICBN is an agreement between botanists around the world to follow Binomial system of naming.
Principles:
1. Botanical nomenclature is not dependent of Zoological nomenclature and is different.
2. The code of botanical nomenclature applies equally to all names of taxonomic groups which are treated as plants.
3. The names of taxonomic groups are determined by nomenclatural types.
4. When a species is described as new, the author must indicate the type of specimen on which new species is based.
5. The nomenclature of taxonomic group is based on priority of publication.
6. Each taxonomic group with a particular circumscription, position and route can bear only one correct name that is in accordance with the rules except in specific cases.
7. Scientific names are treated as Latin irrespective of their derivation.
8. The rules of nomenclature are retroactive unless expressly limited.
Hope it helps you ✌
