Naming method of Latin scientific names of plants: According to international code of botanical nomenclature, the scientific names of plants are all named with Latin words or latinized words. Any Latin name in the world corresponds to only one plant, and any plant has only one Latin name. In this way, the uniqueness and universality of botanical names are guaranteed, and the phenomenon of homonym or homonym of foreign objects is avoided. The naming method of plant scientific names depends on different plant species, using two-name method or three-name method.
