Classification Scientific Names

Binomial Nomenclature Two name system for naming plants Used to simplify names Linnaeus- Swedish Botanist who came up with this system Taxonomist-a person who identifies and classifies plants

Binomial Nomenclature Scientific names are used to avoid confusion concerning the names of plants Example: Most plants have more than one common name: TIGER LILY is also known as trout lily, adder’s tongue, dog’s tooth violet, and yellow snowdrop Two completely different plants may have the same common name: In New York, COWSLIP is a marsh loving buttercup like plant, but in England it is a primrose like plant found on dry, grassy slopes

Binomial Nomenclature Scientific names are expressed in LATIN because it is an international language and was used by early scholars to express plant names

Advantages of Using Scientific Names Used worldwide Taxonomist name and classify plants and animals Plants purchased with accuracy Helpful in identifying plants Standard terminology

Taxonomy Chart Hierarchy of Specification KINGDOM –plant-animal DIVISION – PHYLUM (used for animals) CLASS ORDER FAMILY GENUS SPECIES VARIETY (cultivar) FORM INDIVIDUAL

Scientific Names Binomial Nomenclature uses the Genus and Species The first term is known as the generic name. All plants having the same generic name are said to belong to the same GENUS GENUS is the First Term (NOUN) GENUS is always capitalized

Species The second name is the specific name or special name. All plants with the same specific name belong to the same SPECIES SPECIES is the second term (adjective) SPECIES is always lower case Latin names of plants are italicized because it is conventional to italicize words and phrases that are expressed in a different language

EXAMPLES Betula ultea “Yellow Birch” Quercus rubra “Red Oak” Acer rubrum “Red Maple”

Varieties or Cultivars There are many forms of the species red maple. Variety and/or cultivar names allow you to specify which one. Acer rubrum cv. Autumn Flame Acer rubrum ‘Autumn Flame’ Acer rubrum ‘Red Sunset’

Acer rubrum cv. Red Sunset Your Turn Acer rubrum cv. Red Sunset Red Sunset is the _____________________ Acer is the __________________________ rubrum is the________________________
