Abstract

This article analyzes the nature, origin, and practical significance of the Latin-based scientific naming system. During the research, the confusion related to common (folk) names of plants and the role of binomial nomenclature in eliminating these issues are highlighted. In addition, the structure of scientific names (genus and species) and their role in identifying living organisms are explained based on examples. The results show that Latin scientific names are important not only for scientific communication but also in everyday gardening practice. The article substantiates the consequences of incorrect identification, particularly errors in plant care, through examples. As a conclusion, it is emphasized that the scientific naming system is an effective tool for correctly selecting plants and providing appropriate care for them.
