Scientific Names – Flowers – Common and Wild

Scientists through out the world use a common system for naming organisms. This system is known as the binomial nomenclature. In this system two words are used to name the organisms that represents its generic name and the other its specific epithet. Biological classification is necessary as the number of living things are enormous. New forms of species keep adding on every year. The organisms vary greatly in their form, structure and their mode of life. The organisms needs to be divided into groups and subgroups in a definite plan. So that the study of living things becomes easy.
