Rules of nomenclature are as follows: 

(i) Biological names are generally in Latin or derived from Latin irrespective of their origin. 

(ii) The first world in a biological name represent the genus while the second component denotes the specific epithet.

(iii) The words when hand written are separately underlined, or printed in italics. 

(iv) The first word denoting the genus starts with a capital letter while the specific epithet starts with a small letter.
