Botanical Nomenclature...

The Language of Botany

  • Botanical nomenclature is the formal, scientific naming of plants, governed by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN).
  • It uses a two-part name (binomial nomenclature), where the first part is the Genus (always capitalized) and the second is the specific epithet (lowercase).
  • These names are typically derived from Latin or Greek, or are Latinized forms of other words.
  • The specific epithet often describes a characteristic of the plant, its habitat, or honors a botanist.
  • This standardized system allows for clear communication about plant species across different languages and regions.
