Binomial nomenclature is the scientific rule of double naming of living organisms.
Its principles include:
The scientific name is made up of two names, the generic and specific name.
The generic name begins with a capital letter while the rest are small letters.
The specific name is written in small letters.
When handwritten or typed the names are underlined separately and printed in italics.
