The species is the second word in a binomial name, written in lowercase. The Genus is the first word/name and the first letter is capitalized.
Genus and species.
A scientific name, or binomial nomonclature, is when the first part of the name is the Genus of the organism, and the second part is the Species. For example, the scientific name for humans is Homo sapien
A scientific name of an organism contains two parts. The first name is the genus name and the second name is the species name. There are some simple rules in writing a scientific name:a). The first letter of the Genus name must be capitalized.b). The first letter of the species name is not capitalized.c). Both names must be underlined or italicized.I believe that would make the Genus the most important part of the scientific name of an organism.
The second part of the scientific name, known as the specific epithet, is unique to each species within a genus. It helps to distinguish one species from another within the same genus and is specific to that particular organism.
The scientific name for grass is Poaceae.

Organisms get their scientific name by a taxonomic system developed in the 1700's by Carl Linnaeus. The first part of the scientific name is referred to as the Genus and the second part of the name is the species name.
In the scientific nomenclature of an organism out of the two parts, first part is called the genus and the second part species. This naming is called binomial system of nomenclature.
Genus and species.
binomial nomenclature the 1st part of the name is genus the second part is species
the first part is the creatures genus second part is species ex: We are homo-saphians
The three rules for naming organisms are: 1) Each organism has a two-part scientific name (binomial nomenclature), 2) The scientific name is italicized or underlined, and 3) The first part of the name is the genus name and the second part is the species name.
Habenaria orbiculata is the scientific name of the Round-leaved Orchid.Specifically, the genus is the first part of the binomial, Latin or scientific name. It honors the plant's membership among the wild bog orchids. The species is the second part of the scientific name. It honors the round shape of the plant's leaves.
The first part, which refers to the Genus. The second part, referring to the species, is not capitalized.
