The generic and specific names (always in Latin or considered as Latin) together form the scientific proper name of an animal or plant, the generic name standing first and being written with an initial capital. (The zoological term the genus Homo is sometimes used informally or humorously to denote ‘humankind’ or ‘the human race’.)extracted from genusn.< as lemmas |
