A binomial ("bi" = two, "nomial" = name)
consists of Genus & species and forms the basis for any
taxonomical (classification of living organisms) system
(including plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and
protists). If the first part of the name matches in any two
plants, they are closely related (same Genus). If the second part
of any two plant names match it only means they share that
characteristic, it does not mean they are the same species or
even distantly related.
