Additional information -

  • Each biological name has two components - the Generic name and the specific epithet.
  • This system of providing a name with two components is called Binomial nomenclature.

Other universal rules of nomenclature are as follows :-

  • Biological names are generally in Latin and written in Italics.
  • The first word in biological name represents the genus while the second component denotes the specific epithet.
  • Both the words in a biological name, when handwritten, are separately underlined, or printed in italics to indicate their Latin origin.
  • The first word denoting the genus starts with a capital letter while the specific epithet starts with a small letter.
