… Species names are based on binomial nomenclature. That is, the genus name is defined in noun form, and the specific particle (episte) is combined with the genus name to indicate the individual species. The scientific name of the magnolia is Magnolia liliflora Desr., which is the combination of the genus name Magnolia L. (Magnolia genus) with the specific particle liliflora to specify the species Magnolia (Magnolia japonica). It is distinguished from other scientific names of species that are indicated by other specific particles, such as Magnolia obovata Thunb. or Magnolia kobus DC. … From [Seed]…The classification of living things was established further back in the 18th century by C. von Linnaeus, who also gave long Latin descriptions for each species. However, he chose a characteristic word from the long description of the species and wrote it in the margin for the name of the genus, which is a group of similar species. As a result, the notation method of the species name, which combines the genus name and that word (called the epithet, or specific name) (later called binomial nomenclature), gradually came to be used. This led to a concise notation method for species names, and, together with the age of exploration at that time, promoted the study of biota around the world. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "epithet" are listed below.
