	Binomial nomenclature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the word "binomial" suggests, the scientific name of a species is formed by the combination of two terms: the genus name and the species descriptor.
		The adoption of a system of binomial nomenclature is due to Swedish botanist and physician Carolus Linnaeus (1707–1778) who attempted to describe the entire known natural world and gave every species (mineral, vegetable or animal) a two-part name.
		However, binomial nomenclature in various forms existed before Linnaeus, and was used by the Bauhins, who lived nearly two hundred years before Linnaeus.

	Binomial nomenclature - Wikipedia
		As the word 'binomial' suggests, the scientific name of each organism is actually the combination of two names: the genus and the species (as epithet).
		Nomenclature intends to keep names stable, but quite often this is not true: an organism may have several names, reflecting different rank and position in taxonomy, depending on opinion (see synonymy[?]), conservation[?] according to nomenclature codes[?], and new findings based on molecular phylogeny.
		Nomenclature must acknowledge the achievement of scientists who were first to name a taxon.

		As the word 'binomial' suggests, the scientific name of a species is formed by the combination of two terms: the genus name and the species epithet or descriptor.
		It is a common misconception that Linnaeus also invented binomial nomenclature; in fact it dates back to the Bauhins, who lived nearly 200 years before Linnaeus.
		He was, however, the first to systematize and popularize binomial nomenclature, and it is only one aspect of his systematical achievements or misachievements (such as oversimplifying fungal systematics).

	Linnaean taxonomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The greatest innovation of Linnaeus, and still the most important aspect of this system, is the general use of binomial nomenclature, the combination of a genus name and a single specific epithet ("sapiens" in the example above), to uniquely identify each species of organism.
		This uniqueness and stability are, of course, a result of the acceptance by working systematists (biologists specializing in taxonomy); not merely of the binomial nomenclature in itself, but of much more complex codes of rules and procedures governing the use of these names.
		These rules—or at least those governing the nomenclature and classification of plants and fungi—are contained in the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, maintained by the International Association for Plant Taxonomy.

	AllRefer.com - classification : Binomial Nomenclature (Biology, General) - Encyclopedia
		The present system of binomial nomenclature identifies each species by a scientific name of two words, Latin in form and usually derived from Greek or Latin roots.
		There are two international organizations for the determination of the rules of nomenclature and the recording of specific names, one for zoology and one for botany.
		According to the rules they have established, the first name to be published (from the work of Linnaeus on) is the correct name of any organism unless it is reclassified in such a way as to affect that name (for example, if it is moved from one genus to another).

		The binomial nomenclature is not only more precise and standardized; it also relates plants together, thus adding much interest and information in the name.
		Binomial Classification Early on in naming species taxonomists realized that there would have to be a universal system of nomenclature.
		Binomial classification in its simplest form is a way of naming a species by means of two names both in Latin.

	BioEd Online Slides: binomial nomenclature, taxonomy, Linnaeus, species
		The Swedish scientist, Carolus von Linnaeus, is credited with introducing binomial nomenclature and hierarchical classification as an organized way of naming and describing organisms and their relationships to one another.
		Binomial nomenclature refers to the use of a two-part name for each species (one name designating genus and one designating species).
		In the binomial system, genus is always a noun, underlined (or italicized), and capitalized; species is a descriptive term, underlined (or italicized), and not capitalized.

		Binomial nomenclature is the most common naming convention used for organisms.
		Binomials are far more useful than common or regional names, which as their name implies, vary substantially, and they are often descriptive.
		For instance, the binomial for a type of tremalale, Pseudohydnum gelatinosa, is marvelously descriptive, meaning: "gelatinous false-tooth" which admirably describes this organism.

		The first is the taxonomic system called binomial nomenclature and the second is the more flexible horticultural classification system.
		Binomial nomenclature can be extended below the species level (infraspecific classification), by including the ranks of subspecies (subsp.) and variety (var.).
		Binomial nomenclature has been very successful in cataloguing the world's biodiversity, but its use below the species level may not always be appropriate for cultivated plants.

		Nomenclatural stability is a widely stated objective of taxonomy, but the Linnaean binomial system is not well suited to promote stability of species names.
		Transition to a system of hyphenated uninomials would not be traumatic if the uninomials were based on currently accepted binomials and utilized the same types.
		Hyphenated uninomials would be compatible with both the rank-based system of nomenclature represented by the ICBN and the rankless phylogenetic nomenclature proposed by de Queiroz and Gauthier.

		Binomial nomenclature is also referred to as the latin or scientific name.
		A species is also a group of plants that can be readily distinguished from other plants based on physical appearance but, because plants are so variable, species can be broken down into subspecies and varieties, because sometimes plants that look different can actually interbreed.
