How Plants Are Named

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Here is an interesting set of slides that give some nice examples of the reasoning behind scientific Binomial Nomenclature. Some examples of scientific naming are given along with their common names. There is not much more detail on the actual Latin terms, and some extension on common suffixes or prefixes would be useful.
