Notes

  1. In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms. Prior to the adoption of the modern binomial system of naming species in the 18th century, a scientific name consisted of a generic name combined with a specific name that was from one to several words long. Together they formed a system of polynomial nomenclature,[2] which this name would fall under, as it consists of three words rather than two.
