Binomeal System Of Nomenclature

The system of providing Two name scientifically to the individual that can be accepted worldwide under the same name  is known as Binomeal system of nomenclature.In biology, binomial nomenclature is how species are named. As the word "binomial" suggests, the name of a species is made of two parts: one indicating the genus and one indicating the species. Binomial nomenclature means "two-part name" or "system of two-part names".

The value of the binomial nomenclature comes from its economy, its widespread use, and the uniqueness and stability of names in the system. The system replaced the use of Latin descriptive names, which were not handy as they were long (and growing all the time).

Value of binomial nomenclature:

An important reason for the stability of names is that they need not be descriptive. For example Simmondsia chinensis has the component chinensiswhich means "from China"; this was used in error, as the species is from California. Nevertheless, this name is used world-wide and is not to be 'corrected'. In today's system of naming, a name is just a label, and remains stable even if it is misdescriptive. Of course, ideally names should be descriptive; this makes it easier to remember them.
