Scientific Names of Common Plants - General Knowledge

Binomial nomenclature is the system of giving each plant a scientific name consisting of two parts. The first is the generic name that desiginates the genus --- a group of related species. The generic name is capitalized, underlined, or written in italics.
Genera are grouped into families, families into orders, and on up the hierarchial levels of classification. Each level of this clasification includes plants with many characteristics in common. So plant classification is in a very meaningful and useful system.
