Answer 1

In a scientific name, the name of author is printed in bold. For eg the letter L in the scientific name of mango i.e Mangifera indica L is indicative of its discoverer Linnaeus, also the Latin term "et" or the ampersand symbol "&" can be used when two authors jointly publish a name example to this can be rubus ursinus cham. & Schldl. , here "Cham." refers to Adelbert von Chamisso and "Schldl." to Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal. They jointly described the species.
