Binomial Nomenclature
From the perspective of taxonomy, there are billions of species on earth known by their geographical names which vary from region to region thereby creating a confusion among scientists during their research. Hence, there comes the necessity for a standard type of nomenclature system and this system is only possible when we are well familiarized about the specifications of the organism. A Biologist from all over the world follows a uniform set of principles for naming the organisms.
★All living species including plants, animals, birds and also some microbeshave their own scientific names.
★The scientific naming or nomenclature system is therefore termed as Binomial Nomenclature or binary method of nomenclature and it was introduced by Carl Linnaeus. In this system, the first section of the name indicates the genus and the second one identifies the species.
★Below are examples of binomial nomenclature system.
▶ The scientific name of the tiger is presented as Panthera tigris. Panthera represents the ‘genus’ and Tigris represents a particular species or ‘specific epithet’.
▶ The scientific name of humans is presented as Homo sapiens. Homo represents the ‘genus’ and sapiens represents a particular species.

Answer: Binomial nomenclature is first mentioned in the book- Philosophia Botanica.
Philosophia Botanica was published by Carl Linnaeus. He was a Swedish naturalist and physician, who introduced the Binomial nomenclature for the first time. This book contains first published description of binomial nomenclature.
In binomial nomenclature, two terms are used for naming a species of living organism. The first term of this nomenclature represents the Genus and the second term represents the species to which the living organism belongs.
For example- The Homo sapiens is binomial nomenclature of human beings.
