Binomial Nomenclature:
The system of naming of plants with a binomial, i.e. a name consisting two parts is known as binomial nomenclature. Binomial nomenclature was first established by Carolous Linnaeus and finally settled by the international botanical congress held at Amsterdam in 1935.
The first word of the name designates the genus of the plant and begins with a capital letter, the second being the species and begins with small letter.
The name should always be underlined when written by hand or typed and given in italics when printed. Such as, Pea has received the name Pisum sativum.
The name of the author who first described a species is also written in an abbreviated form after the name of the species, e.g., Mangifera indica Linn. Here Linn. refers to the author who first described the plant.
