If a new organism is discovered, It is first described in Latin language. Depending on the peculiarities of the organism a word is coined for the genus and then its species is named either on one of its striking feature or the place where it was first noticed or to honour some dignitary of that field. For example Pinus roxburghii is the name of Chir Pine. The needle like leaves has given the name of the genus as Pinus and to honor William Roxburg, a great botanist of 19th century, the name of the species is given.
