There are many languages and even more dialects being spoken in different parts of the  world. This means a plant may have different names in different regions of the country or world. This compounds the problem for anybody because nobody can remember all those names. To solve this problem, botanists have devised the system of binomial nomenclature so that a particular species can have unique name for the purpose of
scientific study.

A botanical name is usually composed of two terms, viz. genus name and species name. Care is taken to make a unique name for a particular species.
