Author's Name: The name of the author (who first described the species) is written in an abbreviated form at the end of the species name (e.g., Mangifera indica Linn.), but it is not underlined or italicized.

Rules & Codes: Rules are governed by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN/ICBN).

International Botanical Congress (IBC): The IBC has the authority to change or update the rules (codes).

Binomial Structure: The scientific name consists of two parts: the genus and the specific epithet. While the epithet can be a phrase, the binomial system technically limits the name to two components (binomial).
