The scientific name of an organism is comprised of the two most specific parts of the organism's taxonomy. First is the name of the organism's genus and then the name of the organism's species. Birch trees are in the Betula genus. There are many species of Birch trees which means the second word in the name is different for different types (species) of birch trees. Some example scientific names of birch trees include: Betula ienta (the cherry birch), Betula pubescens (the European white birch), Betula glandulosa (the American dwarf birch).
