Binomial Nomenclature Linnaeus Developed binomial system for naming plants

Linnaeus Swedish Botanist Gave all plants 2 Latin names as their specific name

Binomial Nomenclature First name – Genus, the plants group name Second name – species, means kind

Species Are divided into varieties

Genus Always capitalized Species is not capitalized Both names are underlined

Example Zea maize Corn

Why Scientific Names Many plants have more than one common name Universally understood

Example: Sanseveria trifasciata Common names Mother in laws tongue, Snake plant

Plant Families Related genus with similar flower structures Rosacea – rose family Malus – apple family

Taxonomist Scientists who identify and classify plants International rules International code of Binomial Nomenclature
