Devised by Linnaeus, the binomial system is a method of classification in the taxonomy of a living organism. Typically a particular "plant" is known by it's two-part naime represented by its genus and species.

The common carnation that is used in florist bouquets is the Dianthus caryophyllus.

Diathus comes from the Greek words translated as "God's flower". Caryophyllus comes from two Greek words (a nut + a leaf) which have since been given to the "clove". This name was applied to the carnation because if its spicy frangrance.
