The system of nomenclature used today is based on the binomial system of nomenclature, developed by Linnaeus in the late 1700's. The binomial system of nomenclature is structured so that the scientific name of a plant consists of two names: (1) the genus or generic name, and (2) the specific epithet or species name. There are rules to follow when writing a scientific name.

Genus Name

The genus name is written first.

The genus name is always underlined or italicized.

The first letter of the genus name is always capitalized.

Example: Sansevieria or Sansevieria

Specific Epithet

The specific epithet is written second.

The specific epithet is always underlined or italicized.

The first letter of the specific epithet name is never capitalized.

Example: trifasciata or trifasciata

Scientific Name

The scientific name of this plant would appear as follows:

Sansevieriatrifasciata or Sansevieria trifasciata
