Binomial nomenclature (also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature) is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to ju...

the system of nomenclature in which the scientific name of a species (and not of a taxon at any other rank) is a combination of two names, the first name being the generic name. The second name is referred to botanically as the specific epithet. Note that the two names constitute the species name, not just the second word.

The method of scientifically naming plants and animals in descriptive Latin terms. The first term identifies the genus, the second the species to which an organism belongs. The first letter of the generic name is capitalised and both names are italicised. The name (often abbreviated) of the author responsible for naming the organism may follow the Latin binomial. When another author transfers a species to another genus, the name of the first author is placed in parentheses and the name of the second author follows. Thus, the scientific name of the fungus that causes brown rot of peach is written Monilinia fructicola (Wint.) Honey....
