 Binomial nomenclature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.
The first term (generic name) is always capitalized, while the specific epithet (trivial "name") is not; both are to be typeset in italics, e.g.
Names sometimes come from Ancient Greek, or from local languages, or from the name of the person who first discovered the species.

 Science Fair Projects - Trinomial nomenclature
Trinomial nomenclature is a taxonomic naming system that extends the standard system of binomial nomenclature by adding a third epithet.
This specifies who published the name and in what publication and gives the date of the publication in which the name was published.
Such a name always includes the word "Group" and, when used in conjunction with a cultivar name, is enclosed in round brackets.

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).
The value of this system lies chiefly in the fact that, although a given species may be named differently in different languages, the scientific name will always be the same.
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.

 Re: An H by any other name would be called something else
If the plant being discussed is a subspecies of another species, it has a trinomial name, consisting of the Genus name + the species epithet + the infraspecific epithet.
In the case of Vallisneria nana, both the Genus name and the species epithet are feminine because they both end in "a".
This is the name (or an accepted abbreviation of the name) of the person who first gave the plant the name.
