Binomial nomenclature

Binomial nomenclature is the scientific naming of species whereby each species receives a Latin or Latinized name of two parts, the first indicating the genus and the second being the species.[1] The system was adopted by Swedish botanist and physician Carolus Linnaeus in the mid 18th century.
