Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen, binominal name, or a scientific name; more informally it is also historically called a Latin name. In the <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature" title="International Code of Zoological Nomenclature">International Code of Zoological Nomenclature</a> (ICZN), the system is also called binominal nomenclature,<a href="#cite_note-ICZN1999_Chap2Article5-1">[1]</a> with an "n" before the "al" in "binominal", which is not a typographic error, meaning "two-name naming system".<a href="#cite_note-ICZN1999_Glossary-2">[2]</a> The first part of the name – the <a href="/wiki/Generic_name_(biology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Generic name (biology)">generic name</a> – identifies the <a href="/wiki/Genus" title="Genus">genus</a> to which the species belongs, whereas the second part – the specific name or specific epithet – distinguishes the species within the genus. For example, modern humans belong to the genus <a href="/wiki/Homo" title="Homo">Homo</a> and within this genus to the species <a href="/wiki/Homo_sapiens" class="mw-redirect" title="Homo sapiens">Homo sapiens</a>. <a href="/wiki/Tyrannosaurus_rex" class="mw-redirect" title="Tyrannosaurus rex">Tyrannosaurus rex</a> is likely the most widely known binomial.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> The formal introduction of this system of naming species is credited to <a href="/wiki/Carl_Linnaeus" title="Carl Linnaeus">Carl Linnaeus</a>, effectively beginning with his work <a href="/wiki/Species_Plantarum" title="Species Plantarum">Species Plantarum</a> in 1753.<a href="#cite_note-Knapp-4">[4]</a> But as early as 1622, <a href="/wiki/Gaspard_Bauhin" title="Gaspard Bauhin">Gaspard Bauhin</a> introduced in his book Pinax theatri botanici (English, Illustrated exposition of plants) containing many names of genera that were later adopted by Linnaeus.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Binomial nomenclature was introduced in order to provide succinct, relatively stable and verifiable names that could be used and understood internationally, unlike <a href="/wiki/Common_names" class="mw-redirect" title="Common names">common names</a> which are usually different in every language.<a href="#cite_note-Stearn-6">[6]</a> The application of binomial nomenclature is now governed by various internationally agreed codes of rules, of which the two most important are the <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature" title="International Code of Zoological Nomenclature">International Code of Zoological Nomenclature</a> (ICZN) for animals and the <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_Nomenclature_for_algae,_fungi,_and_plants" title="International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants">International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants</a> (ICNafp or ICN). Although the general principles underlying binomial nomenclature are common to these two codes, there are some differences in the terminology they use and their particular rules. In modern usage, the first letter of the generic name is always capitalized in writing, while that of the specific epithet is not, even when derived from a <a href="/wiki/Proper_noun" title="Proper noun">proper noun</a> such as the name of a person or place. Similarly, both parts are <a href="/wiki/Italicize" class="mw-redirect" title="Italicize">italicized</a> in normal text (or underlined in handwriting). Thus the binomial name of the annual phlox (named after botanist <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Drummond_(botanist)" title="Thomas Drummond (botanist)">Thomas Drummond</a>) is now written as <a href="/wiki/Phlox_drummondii" title="Phlox drummondii">Phlox drummondii</a>. Often, after a species name is introduced in a text, the generic name is abbreviated to the first letter in subsequent mentions (e.g., P. drummondii). In scientific works, the <a href="#Authority">authority</a> for a binomial name is usually given, at least when it is first mentioned, and the year of publication may be specified. <ul><li>In <a href="/wiki/Zoology" title="Zoology">zoology</a> <ul><li>"<a href="/wiki/Patella_vulgata" title="Patella vulgata">Patella vulgata</a> Linnaeus, 1758".

Together they formed a system of polynomial nomenclature.<a href="#cite_note-Reddy2007-9">[9]</a> These names had two separate functions. First, to designate or label the species, and second, to be a diagnosis or description; however, these two goals were eventually found to be incompatible.<a href="#cite_note-Blunt2004-10">[10]</a> In a simple genus, containing only two species, it was easy to tell them apart with a one-word genus and a one-word specific name; but as more species were discovered, the names necessarily became longer and unwieldy, for instance, Plantago foliis ovato-lanceolatus pubescentibus, spica cylindrica, scapo tereti ("plantain with pubescent ovate-lanceolate leaves, a cylindric spike and a <a href="/wiki/Terete" title="Terete">terete</a> <a href="/wiki/Scape_(botany)" title="Scape (botany)">scape</a>"), which we know today as <a href="/wiki/Plantago_media" title="Plantago media">Plantago media</a>.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Such "polynomial names" may sometimes look like binomials, but are significantly different. For example, Gerard's herbal (as amended by Johnson) describes various kinds of spiderwort: "The first is called Phalangium ramosum, Branched Spiderwort; the second, Phalangium non ramosum, Unbranched Spiderwort. The other ... is aptly termed Phalangium Ephemerum Virginianum, Soon-Fading Spiderwort of Virginia".<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> The Latin phrases are short descriptions, rather than identifying labels. The <a href="/wiki/Bauhin" title="Bauhin">Bauhins</a>, in particular <a href="/wiki/Gaspard_Bauhin" title="Gaspard Bauhin">Caspar Bauhin</a> (1560–1624), took some important steps towards the binomial system by pruning the Latin descriptions, in many cases to two words.<a href="#cite_note-JohnsonSmithStockdalev-12">[12]</a> The adoption by biologists of a system of strictly binomial nomenclature is due to Swedish botanist and physician <a href="/wiki/Carl_Linnaeus" title="Carl Linnaeus">Carl Linnaeus</a> (1707–1778). It was in Linnaeus's 1753 <a href="/wiki/Species_Plantarum" title="Species Plantarum">Species Plantarum</a> that he began consistently using a one-word trivial name (nomen triviale) after a generic name (genus name) in a system of binomial nomenclature.<a href="#cite_note-Polaszek2009-13">[13]</a> Trivial names had already appeared in his <a href="/wiki/Critica_Botanica" title="Critica Botanica">Critica Botanica</a> (1737) and <a href="/wiki/Philosophia_Botanica" title="Philosophia Botanica">Philosophia Botanica</a> (1751).

Linnaeus's trivial names introduced the important new idea that the function of a name could simply be to give a species a unique label, meaning that the name no longer needed to be descriptive. Both parts could, for example, be derived from the names of people. Thus Gerard's Phalangium ephemerum virginianum became <a href="/wiki/Tradescantia_virginiana" title="Tradescantia virginiana">Tradescantia virginiana</a>, where the genus name honoured <a href="/wiki/John_Tradescant_the_Younger" title="John Tradescant the Younger">John Tradescant the Younger</a>,<a href="#cite_note-14">[note 1]</a> an English botanist and gardener.<a href="#cite_note-15">[14]</a> A bird in the parrot family was named <a href="/wiki/Red-breasted_parakeet" title="Red-breasted parakeet">Psittacus alexandri</a>, meaning "Alexander's parrot", after <a href="/wiki/Alexander_the_Great" title="Alexander the Great">Alexander the Great</a>, whose armies introduced eastern parakeets to Greece.<a href="#cite_note-16">[15]</a> Linnaeus's trivial names were much easier to remember and use than the parallel polynomial names, and eventually replaced them.<a href="#cite_note-Knapp-4">[4]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Value">Value</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Binomial_nomenclature&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Value">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:E_coli_at_10000x,_original.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/E_coli_at_10000x%2C_original.jpg/220px-E_coli_at_10000x%2C_original.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="160" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/E_coli_at_10000x%2C_original.jpg/330px-E_coli_at_10000x%2C_original.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/E_coli_at_10000x%2C_original.jpg/440px-E_coli_at_10000x%2C_original.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2598" data-file-height="1889" /></a><figcaption>The bacterium <a href="/wiki/Escherichia_coli" title="Escherichia coli">Escherichia coli</a>, commonly shortened to E. coli</figcaption></figure> The value of the binomial nomenclature system derives primarily from its economy, its widespread use, and the uniqueness and stability of names that the Codes of <a href="/wiki/Zoological_nomenclature" class="mw-redirect" title="Zoological nomenclature">Zoological</a> and <a href="/wiki/Botanical_nomenclature" title="Botanical nomenclature">Botanical</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bacterial_nomenclature" class="mw-redirect" title="Bacterial nomenclature">Bacterial</a> and <a href="/wiki/Virus_nomenclature" class="mw-redirect" title="Virus nomenclature">Viral</a> Nomenclature provide: <ul><li>Economy.

Thus, there is disagreement among botanists as to whether the genera <a href="/wiki/Chionodoxa" class="mw-redirect" title="Chionodoxa">Chionodoxa</a> and <a href="/wiki/Scilla" title="Scilla">Scilla</a> are sufficiently different for them to be kept separate.

This may happen because the specific name is already used in the new genus, or to <a href="/wiki/Agreement_(linguistics)#Gender" title="Agreement (linguistics)">agree in gender</a> with the new genus if the specific epithet is an adjective modifying the genus name. Some biologists have argued for the combination of the genus name and specific epithet into a single unambiguous name, or for the use of uninomials (as used in nomenclature of ranks above species).<a href="#cite_note-23">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-24">[23]</a> Because genus names are unique only within a nomenclature code, it is possible for homonyms (two or more species sharing the same genus name) to happen, and even the same binomial if they occur in different kingdoms.

This is not the case for binomial names, since the first part of a binomial is the name of the genus into which the species is placed. Above the rank of genus, binomial nomenclature and classification are partly independent; for example, a species retains its binomial name if it is moved from one family to another or from one order to another, unless it better fits a different genus in the same or different family, or it is split from its old genus and placed in a newly created genus.

Another use of genitive nouns is in, for example, the name of the bacterium <a href="/wiki/Escherichia_coli" title="Escherichia coli">Escherichia coli</a>, where coli means "of the <a href="/wiki/Colon_(anatomy)" class="mw-redirect" title="Colon (anatomy)">colon</a>". This formation is common in parasites, as in <a href="/wiki/Xenos_vesparum" title="Xenos vesparum">Xenos vesparum</a>, where vesparum means "of the wasps", since Xenos vesparum is a parasite of wasps.</li></ul> Whereas the first part of a binomial name must be unique within the purview of each nomenclatural code, the second part is quite commonly used in two or more genera (as is shown by examples of hodgsonii above), but cannot be used more than once within a single genus. The full binomial name must be unique within each code. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Codes">Codes</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Binomial_nomenclature&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Codes">edit</a>]</div> From the early 19th century onwards it became ever more apparent that a body of rules was necessary to govern scientific names. In the course of time these became <a href="/wiki/Nomenclature_codes" title="Nomenclature codes">nomenclature codes</a>. The <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature" title="International Code of Zoological Nomenclature">International Code of Zoological Nomenclature</a> (ICZN) governs the naming of animals,<a href="#cite_note-ICZN-43">[41]</a> the <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_Nomenclature_for_algae,_fungi,_and_plants" title="International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants">International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants</a> (ICNafp) that of plants (including <a href="/wiki/Cyanobacteria" title="Cyanobacteria">cyanobacteria</a>), and the <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_Nomenclature_of_Bacteria" class="mw-redirect" title="International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria">International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria</a> (ICNB) that of <a href="/wiki/Bacteria" title="Bacteria">bacteria</a> (including <a href="/wiki/Archaea" title="Archaea">Archaea</a>). <a href="/wiki/Virus" title="Virus">Virus</a> names are governed by the <a href="/wiki/International_Committee_on_Taxonomy_of_Viruses" title="International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses">International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses</a> (ICTV), a taxonomic code, which determines taxa as well as names. These codes differ in certain ways, e.g.: <ul><li>"Binomial nomenclature" is the correct term for botany,<a href="#cite_note-44">[42]</a> although it is also used by zoologists.<a href="#cite_note-45">[43]</a> Since 1961,<a href="#cite_note-ICZN1961_Chap2Article5-46">[44]</a> "binominal nomenclature" is the technically correct term in zoology.<a href="#cite_note-ICZN1999_Chap2Article5-1">[1]</a> A binomial name is also called a binomen (plural binomina) or binominal name.<a href="#cite_note-ICZN1999_Glossary-2">[2]</a></li> <li>Both codes consider the first part of the two-part name for a species to be the "generic name". In the zoological code (ICZN), the second part of the name is a "specific name". In the botanical code (ICNafp), it is a "specific epithet". Together, these two parts are referred to as a "species name" or "binomen" in the zoological code: or "species name", "binomial", or "binary combination" in the botanical code. "Species name" is the only term common to the two codes.</li> <li>The ICNafp, the plant code, does not allow the two parts of a binomial name to be the same (such a name is called a <a href="/wiki/Tautonym" title="Tautonym">tautonym</a>), whereas the ICZN, the animal code, does. Thus the American bison has the binomen Bison bison; a name of this kind would not be allowed for a plant.</li> <li>The starting points, the time from which these codes are in effect (retroactively), vary from group to group. In <a href="/wiki/Botany" title="Botany">botany</a> the starting point will often be in 1753 (the year Carl Linnaeus first published <a href="/wiki/Species_Plantarum" title="Species Plantarum">Species Plantarum</a>). In <a href="/wiki/Zoology" title="Zoology">zoology</a> the starting point is 1758 (1 January 1758 is considered the date of the publication of Linnaeus's <a href="/wiki/Systema_Naturae" title="Systema Naturae">Systema Naturae</a>, 10th Edition, and also <a href="/wiki/Carl_Alexander_Clerck" title="Carl Alexander Clerck">Clerck's</a> Aranei Svecici). <a href="/wiki/Bacteriology" title="Bacteriology">Bacteriology</a> started anew, with a starting point on 1 January 1980.<a href="#cite_note-47">[45]</a></li></ul> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Summary of terminology for the names of species in the ICZN and ICNafp </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Code</th> <th>Full name</th> <th>First part</th> <th>Second part </th></tr> <tr> <td>ICZN</td> <td>species name, binomen, binominal name</td> <td>generic name, genus name</td> <td>specific name </td></tr> <tr> <td>ICNafp</td> <td>species name, binary combination, binomial (name)</td> <td>generic name</td> <td>specific epithet </td></tr></tbody></table> Unifying the different codes into a single code, the "BioCode", has been suggested[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch">by whom?</a>], although implementation is not in sight. (There is also a published code for a different system of biotic nomenclature, which does not use ranks above species, but instead names <a href="/wiki/Clade" title="Clade">clades</a>. This is called <a href="/wiki/PhyloCode" title="PhyloCode">PhyloCode</a>.) <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Differences_in_handling_personal_names">Differences in handling personal names</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Binomial_nomenclature&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Differences in handling personal names">edit</a>]</div> As noted above, there are some differences between the codes in how binomials can be formed; for example the ICZN allows both parts to be the same, while the ICNafp does not. Another difference is in how personal names are used in forming specific names or epithets. The ICNafp sets out precise rules by which a personal name is to be converted to a specific epithet. In particular, names ending in a consonant (but not "er") are treated as first being converted into Latin by adding "-ius" (for a man) or "-ia" (for a woman), and then being made genitive (i.e. meaning "of that person or persons"). This produces specific epithets like lecardii for Lecard (male), wilsoniae for Wilson (female), and brauniarum for the Braun sisters.<a href="#cite_note-48">[46]</a> By contrast, the ICZN does not require the intermediate creation of a Latin form of a personal name, allowing the genitive ending to be added directly to the personal name.<a href="#cite_note-49">[47]</a> This explains the difference between the names of the plant Magnolia hodgsonii and the bird Anthus hodgsoni. Furthermore, the ICNafp requires names not published in the form required by the code to be corrected to conform to it,<a href="#cite_note-50">[48]</a> whereas the ICZN is more protective of the form used by the original author.<a href="#cite_note-51">[49]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Writing_binomial_names">Writing binomial names</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Binomial_nomenclature&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Writing binomial names">edit</a>]</div> By tradition, the binomial names of species are usually typeset in italics; for example, <a href="/wiki/Homo_sapiens" class="mw-redirect" title="Homo sapiens">Homo sapiens</a>.<a href="#cite_note-howto-52">[50]</a> Generally, the binomial should be printed in a <a href="/wiki/Font" title="Font">font style</a> different from that used in the normal text; for example, "Several more Homo sapiens fossils were discovered." When handwritten, a binomial name should be underlined; for example, Homo sapiens.<a href="#cite_note-tan-53">[51]</a> The first part of the binomial, the genus name, is always written with an initial capital letter. Older sources, particularly botanical works published before the 1950s, used a different convention: if the second part of the name was derived from a proper noun, e.g., the name of a person or place, a capital letter was used. Thus, the modern form Berberis darwinii was written as Berberis Darwinii. A capital was also used when the name is formed by two nouns in apposition, e.g., Panthera Leo or Centaurea Cyanus.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJohnsonSmith197223-54">[52]</a><a href="#cite_note-56">[note 3]</a> In current usage, the second part is never written with an initial capital.<a href="#cite_note-57">[54]</a><a href="#cite_note-58">[55]</a> When used with a common name, the scientific name often follows in parentheses, although this varies with publication.<a href="#cite_note-parenth-59">[56]</a> For example, "The house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is decreasing in Europe." The binomial name should generally be written in full. The exception to this is when several species from the same genus are being listed or discussed in the same paper or report, or the same species is mentioned repeatedly; in which case the genus is written in full when it is first used, but may then be abbreviated to an initial (and a period/full stop).<a href="#cite_note-merriamwebster-60">[57]</a> For example, a list of members of the genus Canis might be written as "Canis lupus, C. aureus, C. simensis". In rare cases, this abbreviated form has spread to more general use; for example, the bacterium <a href="/wiki/Escherichia_coli" title="Escherichia coli">Escherichia coli</a> is often referred to as just E. coli, and <a href="/wiki/Tyrannosaurus" title="Tyrannosaurus">Tyrannosaurus rex</a> is perhaps even better known simply as T. rex, these two both often appearing in this form in popular writing even where the full genus name has not already been given. The abbreviation "sp." is used when the actual specific name cannot or need not be specified. The abbreviation "spp." (plural) indicates "several species". These abbreviations are not italicised (or underlined).<a href="#cite_note-Springer:_PKR_and_VD_Nair-61">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-jenks-62">[59]</a> For example: "Canis sp." means "an unspecified species of the genus <a href="/wiki/Canis" title="Canis">Canis</a>", while "Canis spp." means "two or more species of the genus Canis". (These abbreviations should not be confused with the abbreviations "ssp." (zoology) or "subsp." (botany), plurals "sspp." or "subspp.", referring to one or more <a href="/wiki/Subspecies" title="Subspecies">subspecies</a>. See <a href="/wiki/Trinomen" class="mw-redirect" title="Trinomen">trinomen</a> (zoology) and <a href="/wiki/Infraspecific_name" title="Infraspecific name">infraspecific name</a>.) The abbreviation "<a href="/wiki/Cf." title="Cf.">cf.</a>" (i.e., confer in Latin) is used to compare individuals/taxa with known/described species. Conventions for use of the "cf." qualifier vary.<a href="#cite_note-clowes-63">[60]</a> In paleontology, it is typically used when the identification is not confirmed.<a href="#cite_note-64">[61]</a> For example, "Corvus cf. nasicus" was used to indicate "a fossil bird similar to the <a href="/wiki/Cuban_crow" title="Cuban crow">Cuban crow</a> but not certainly identified as this species".<a href="#cite_note-65">[62]</a> In molecular systematics papers, "cf." may be used to indicate one or more undescribed species assumed to be related to a described species. For example, in a paper describing the phylogeny of small benthic freshwater fish called darters, five undescribed putative species (Ozark, Sheltowee, Wildcat, Ihiyo, and Mamequit darters), notable for brightly colored nuptial males with distinctive color patterns,<a href="#cite_note-66">[63]</a> were referred to as "Etheostoma cf. spectabile" because they had been viewed as related to, but distinct from, Etheostoma spectabile (orangethroat darter).<a href="#cite_note-67">[64]</a> This view was supported to varying degrees by DNA analysis. The somewhat informal use of taxa names with qualifying abbreviations is referred to as <a href="/wiki/Open_nomenclature" title="Open nomenclature">open nomenclature</a> and it is not subject to strict usage codes. In some contexts, the dagger symbol ("†") may be used before or after the binomial name to indicate that the species is extinct. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Authority">Authority</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Binomial_nomenclature&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Authority">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Author_citation_(zoology)" title="Author citation (zoology)">Author citation (zoology)</a> and <a href="/wiki/Author_citation_(botany)" title="Author citation (botany)">Author citation (botany)</a></div> In scholarly texts, at least the first or main use of the binomial name is usually followed by the "authority" – a way of designating the scientist(s) who first published the name. The authority is written in slightly different ways in zoology and botany. For names governed by the ICZN the surname is usually written in full together with the date (normally only the year) of publication. One example of author citation of scientific name is: "<a href="/wiki/Amabela" title="Amabela">Amabela Möschler, 1880</a>."<a href="#cite_note-68">[note 4]</a> The ICZN recommends that the "original author and date of a name should be cited at least once in each work dealing with the taxon denoted by that name."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEInternational_Commission_on_Zoological_Nomenclature1999Recommendation_51a-69">[65]</a> For names governed by the ICNafp the name is generally reduced to a standard abbreviation and the date omitted. The <a href="/wiki/International_Plant_Names_Index" title="International Plant Names Index">International Plant Names Index</a> maintains an approved list of botanical author abbreviations. Historically, abbreviations were used in zoology too. When the original name is changed, e.g., the species is moved to a different genus, both codes use parentheses around the original authority; the ICNafp also requires the person who made the change to be given. In the ICNafp, the original name is then called the <a href="/wiki/Basionym" title="Basionym">basionym</a>. Some examples: <ul><li>(Plant) <a href="/wiki/Amaranthus_retroflexus" title="Amaranthus retroflexus">Amaranthus retroflexus</a> L. – "L." is the standard abbreviation for "Linnaeus"; the absence of parentheses shows that this is his original name.</li> <li>(Plant) <a href="/wiki/Hyacinthoides_italica" title="Hyacinthoides italica">Hyacinthoides italica</a> (L.)

Implicitly, it includes a system for naming genera, since the first part of the name of the species is a genus name. In a classification system based on ranks, there are also ways of naming ranks above the level of genus and below the level of species. Ranks above genus (e.g., family, order, class) receive one-part names, which are conventionally not written in italics. Thus, the house sparrow, Passer domesticus, belongs to the family <a href="/wiki/Passeridae" class="mw-redirect" title="Passeridae">Passeridae</a>. Family names are normally based on genus names, although the endings used differ between zoology and botany. Ranks below species receive three-part names, conventionally written in italics like the names of species. There are significant differences between the ICZN and the ICNafp. In zoology, the only formal rank below species is subspecies and the name is written simply as three parts (a trinomen). Thus, one of the subspecies of the <a href="/wiki/Olive-backed_pipit" title="Olive-backed pipit">olive-backed pipit</a> is Anthus hodgsoni berezowskii. Informally, in some circumstances, a <a href="/wiki/Form_(zoology)" title="Form (zoology)">form</a> may be appended. For example <a href="/wiki/Harmonia_axyridis" title="Harmonia axyridis">Harmonia axyridis</a> f. spectabilis is the harlequin ladybird in its black or melanic forms having four large orange or red spots. In botany, there are many ranks below species and although the name itself is written in three parts, a "connecting term" (not part of the name) is needed to show the rank. Thus, the American black elder is Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis; the white-flowered form of the ivy-leaved cyclamen is <a href="/wiki/Cyclamen_hederifolium" title="Cyclamen hederifolium">Cyclamen hederifolium</a> f. albiflorum. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Binomial_nomenclature&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: See also">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_scientific_naming" title="Glossary of scientific naming">Glossary of scientific naming</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Botanical_name" title="Botanical name">Botanical name</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hybrid_name_(botany)" class="mw-redirect" title="Hybrid name (botany)">Hybrid name (botany)</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_botanists_by_author_abbreviation" class="mw-redirect" title="List of botanists by author abbreviation">List of botanists by author abbreviation</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_Latin_and_Greek_words_commonly_used_in_systematic_names" title="List of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names">List of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_organisms_named_after_famous_people" title="List of organisms named after famous people">List of organisms named after famous people</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_zoologists_by_author_abbreviation" class="mw-redirect" title="List of zoologists by author abbreviation">List of zoologists by author abbreviation</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Scientific_terminology" title="Scientific terminology">Scientific terminology</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Species_description" title="Species description">Species description</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Undescribed_taxon" title="Undescribed taxon">Undescribed taxon</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Binomial_nomenclature&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Notes">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-14"><a href="#cite_ref-14">^</a> Some sources say that both John Tradescant the Younger and his father, <a href="/wiki/John_Tradescant_the_Elder" title="John Tradescant the Elder">John Tradescant the Elder</a>, were intended by Linnaeus. </li> <li id="cite_note-33"><a href="#cite_ref-33">^</a> The ending "-on" may derive from the neuter Greek ending -ον, as in Rhodoxylon floridum, or the masculine Greek ending -ων, as in Rhodochiton atrosanguineus. </li> <li id="cite_note-56"><a href="#cite_ref-56">^</a> The modern notation was resisted by some, partly because writing names like Centaurea cyanus can suggest that cyanus is an adjective which should agree with Centaurea, i.e. that the name should be Centaurea cyana, whereas Cyanus is derived from the Greek name for the cornflower.<a href="#cite_note-55">[53]</a> </li> <li id="cite_note-68"><a href="#cite_ref-68">^</a> Here Amabela is the name of the <a href="/wiki/Genus" title="Genus">genus</a>.
