The scientific name of an alligator depends on what kind of alligator to which you are referring. There are two living species today, the American Alligator (scientific name, Alligator mississippiensis) and the Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis).
The only alligators that have been known to come out white are American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis). White alligator are not a species of their own they are either albino or leucistic ones of the American alligator or saltwater crocodile.

∙ 13y agoAlligators that live in Florida are the same as those that live throughout the southeastern U.S., and their common name is American alligator. It is one of two species. The other species is the Chinese alligator. Both species are crocodilians in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae. The scientific name for the American species is Alligator Mississippiensis. Thank you!
