Scientific Names of Plants, Trees, Fruits, Spices & Vegitables

Scientists have given each and every recognised species on earth its own

scientific names to uniquely identify them to avoid confusion. At the simplest level of scientific classification, each scientific name consists of two parts - a generic (or genus) name and a specific name or epithet. Together, these two names are referred to as a binomial. The generic name refer to collective name for a group of organism, here, plants and animals. Group of organisms have similar characters and are represented by the generic name. They all evolve from one common ancestor. The specific name distinguish between different organism with a genus. The first part of the scientific name are always written with the generic name first. It starts with capital letters. 

                                               For example, Pyrus. The second part, specific name (epithet) following the generic name is written in lower case letter. For example, malus.Thus, full scientific name of Apple will be Pyrus malus.
