Q. Principles of Binomial Nomenclature?

There are certain, basic principles of binomial nomenclature which are as follows:

i) Different nomenclatural systems are independent of each other e.g. though "CORYDALIS" is a genus name of plants in the family Fumaricaceae, "CORYDALIS" is a genus name of insects in the order Megaloptera. Although it is permissible in the code it is not desirable to employ the same name for different kinds of organisms of same status of two different systems, This might constitute an obstacle to interdisciplinary understanding.

ii) Within each nomenclature each taxon. with a particular definition, position and rank can bear only one correct name except in unusual or specified cases.

iii) No two taxa may bear the same name.

iv) Scientific names of taxa are treated as Latin names regardless of their derivation.

v) The correct name of a taxon except above the rank of family is based upon priority of publication.

vi) For the categories of order (in Botany) or super family (in Zoology) and lower categories in both, the application of name of taxa is based on type specimens, type species or type genera except in specified. cases.
