The genus name has the first letter written in capital and the rest written in small letters. The species name is also written in small letters and never in the capital letters. Some name of the organism also carries the name of the scientist who discovered or named them. The names of the scientists are written in short forms or in abbreviations. Mangifera indica Linn . is the scientific name of Mango. In this name, the Mangifera is the genus and indica is the species of mango. Linn. is the name of Carolus Linnaeus who coined this name so Mangifera indica Linn .’
