A botanical name is a formal scientific name conforming to the
International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) . The purpose of
formal name is to have a single name that is accepted and used
worldwide for a particular plant or plant group. For myself, I don't
pay attention to the botanical name too much. Firstly, I love my plant
because of its characteristic, but not its name or spicy. Secondly,
some botanical names come from Latin or Greek language which is
difficult for me to remember.

However, I then realize that the botanical name is important when you
talk with another people about your cacti selection. Besides, such
name can descibe the originial root of the plant. From these reasons,
it is reasonable to study more about the Botanical name.

A botanical name is a formal scientific name conforming to the
International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) . The purpose of
formal name is to have a single name that is accepted and used
worldwide for a particular plant or plant group. For an example, the
botanical name Bellis perennis is used worldwide for a plant species,
which is native to and has a history of many centuries use in most of
the countries of Europe and the Middle East, where it has accumulated
various names in the many languages of that area. Later it has been
introduced worldwide, bringing it into contact with languages on all
continents. English names for this plant species include daisy, common
daisy, lawndaisy, etc.


The usefulness of botanical names is limited by the fact that
taxonomic groups are not fixed in size; a taxon may have a varying
circumscription. The group that a particular botanical name refers to
can be quite small according to some people and quite big according to
others. This will depend on taxonomic viewpoint or taxonomic system.
The botanical name itself is fixed by a type, the size and placement
of the taxon it applies to is set by a taxonomist. Some botanical
names refer to groups that are very stable Depending on rank,
botanical names may be in one part (genus and above), two parts
(species and above, but below the rank of genus) or three parts (below
the rank of species) For example:

Family: Cactaceae

Genus : Echinocactus

Species:grusonii


Its common name is Golden Barrel. Normally, the genus and species name
is often mentioned and concerned. Moreover, I'd suggest you an useful
website to learn about the botanical name's pronunciation
