  • Proper Listing of Scientific and Common Plant Names In
    PROPER USAGE OF PLANT NAMES IN PUBLICATIONS A Guide for Writers and Editors Kathy Musial, Huntington Botanical Gardens, August 2017 Scientific names (also known as “Latin names”, “botanical names”) A unit of biological classification is called a “taxon” (plural, “taxa”). This is defined as a taxonomic group of any rank, e.g. genus, species, subspecies, variety. To allow scientists and others to clearly communicate with each other, taxa have names consisting of Latin words. These words may be derived from languages other than Latin, in which case they are referred to as “latinized”. A species name consists of two words: the genus name followed by a second name (called the specific epithet) unique to that species; e.g. Hedera helix. Once the name has been mentioned in text, the genus name may be abbreviated in any immediately subsequent listings of the same species, or other species of the same genus, e.g. Hedera helix, H. canariensis. The first letter of the genus name is always upper case and the first letter of the specific epithet is always lower case. Latin genus and species names should always be italicized when they appear in text that is in roman type; conversely, these Latin names should be in roman type when they appear in italicized text. Names of suprageneric taxa (above the genus level, e.g. families, Asteraceae, etc.), are never italicized when they appear in roman text. The first letter of these names is always upper case. Subspecific taxa (subspecies, variety, forma) have a third epithet that is always separated from the specific epithet by the rank designation “var.”, “ssp.” or “subsp.”, or “forma” (sometimes abbreviated as “f.”); e.g.

The International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants, Shenzhen Code, 2018. International Association for Plant Taxonomy. Abbreviation: ICN • Serves the needs of science by setting precise rules for the application of scientific names to taxonomic groups of algae, fungi, and plants • Available online at https://www.iapt-taxon.org/nomen/main.php 2. The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, 9th Edition, 2016. International Association for Horticultural Science. Abbreviation: ICNCP • Serves the applied disciplines of horticulture, agriculture, and forestry by setting rules for the naming of cultivated plants • Available online at https://www.ishs.org/sites/default/files/static/ScriptaHorticulturae_18.pdf These two resources, while authoritative, are very technical and are not easy to read. Two more accessible references are: 1. Plant Names: A guide to botanical nomenclature, 3rd Edition, 2007. Spencer, R., R. Cross, P. Lumley.

Owensby I [ AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STAnON Kansas State University of Agriculture and Applied Science Manhattan Floyd W. Smith, Director Common Names of a Selected List of Plants' Kling L. Anderson an'd Clanton E. Owensby' Common names of plants often vary widely from place to place, even within rather limited areas. Frequently-occurring and widely-known species may have local names, or the same name may be used for several species. Common names, there­ fore, often fail to identify plants accurately. That makes it difficult to communicate about plants; the confusion may even discontinue attempts to convey ideas about the subject. Con­ versations may shift to a subject with an adequate common nomenclature. CONTENTS Scientific names are essential in formal writing.

  • Nomenclature, Style and Units
    Nomenclature, Style and Units 1. Nomenclature Names should be given in full in the title of the paper and at their first occurrence in the summary and in the main body of the text. 1.1 Nomenclature of micro-organisms The correct name of the organism, conforming with international rules of nomenclature, must be used; if desired, synonyms may be added in parentheses when the name is first mentioned. Names of prokaryotes must conform with the current International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Names of algae and fungi must conform with the current International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. Names of protozoa must conform with the current International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Only those names of prokaryotes that were either included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names or later validly published in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (formerly the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology) have standing in nomenclature. Non- validly published names must be printed in Times New Roman type font, enclosed in quotation marks and an appropriate statement concerning the nomenclatural status of the name should be made in the text (for an example, see Int J Syst Bacteriol 30, 547–556, 1980). For further information on the nomenclature of prokaryotes, please refer to: List of Prokaryotic Names with Standing in Nomenclature Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-Date International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology 1.1.1 Nomenclature of unicellular eukaryotes Use only correct names of taxa. Although an organism may have a number of correct names, depending on its taxonomic placement, use one particular name consistently; if there are objections to its use, cite this name as a synonym.

  • What's in a Name?
    GARFIELD PARK CONSERVATORY ALLIANCE What’s in a Name? Teacher Resources In this activity your students will have the opportunity to learn about plant names through a scavenger hunt in our greenhouses. The scavenger hunt focuses on plants with animal names in their common names, but will have students looking for scientific names and drawing plants as well. We are trying to teach students about scientific nomenclature and taxonomy in a creative and exploratory way. Goals & Standards: 1. To engage with the plant collection at the Garfield Park Conservatory in a fun way 2. To learn the difference between common names and scientific names 3. To better understand binomial nomenclature and why scientists use it Next Generation Science Standards: 2-LS4-1 Common Core Standards: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.7 Vocabulary: Binomial nomenclature – the two part naming system used to assign scientific names to all living things; contains a genus and a species Taxonomy – the scientific classification system used to sort organisms and name them Phylogeny – a branch of biology that studies the genetic relationships and evolution of organisms Genus/genera – an important taxonomic category that is after family but before species Species – the primary taxonomic category, which is unique to an organism; members of the same species can exchange genes and reproduce successfully Common name – a non-scientific way of naming an animal or plant, these are used in everyday language Talking points during your trip: • Why do living things have scientific names as well as common names? Sometimes different species share the same common name. Other times one organism will have multiple common names.

  • Guidelines on Biological Nomenclature Brazil Edition
    APPENDIX: J Guidelines No. 1 GUIDELINES Guidelines on Biological Nomenclature Brazil edition Modified from Chapman et al. 2002 Prepared by: Arthur D. Chapman, 17 June 2003 1. Introduction Biological nomenclature is a tool that enables people to communicate about plants and animal without confusion. For example, a Magpie in Europe is different from a Magpie in Australia, but Gymnorhina tibicen refers to just one of them and is unambiguous. On the other hand there is no difference between a Magpie-lark, a Murray Magpie or a Peewee – they all refer to the same bird. The terms, taxonomy and nomenclature are often confused, but have quite distinct meanings. Taxonomy is the science of classifying, describing and characterising different groups (taxa) of living organisms. Nomenclature, on the other hand, is about giving names to those different entities or groups. Most common names (including English, Portuguese, indigenous, colloquial and trivial names) are not governed by rules. For some groups, such as birds and mamals, guidelines and recommended English names are available (see Christidis & Boles 1994 for birds and Wilson and Coles 2000 for mammals). Similar guidelines and recommended Portuguese common names exist for birds in Brazil (Willis and Oniki 1991). Unfortunately, similar guidelines do not appear to exist for Spanish names. Where possible, in the interests of consistency, it is recommended that basic guidelines be followed for common names. See Section 4 below for more details. 2. Scientific names Scientific names of plants, animals, fungi, etc. follow internationally agreed rules, which are published as their respective “Codes of Nomenclature” (see list under Technical References below).
