According to ICBN or ICZN guidelines, giving a specific scientific name to a specific species by adding the species name to the end of the generic name is called binomial nomenclature. Gaspard Bauhin first used binomial names for some plants in his book Pinax. In 1753, the Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus introduced the system of binomial naming of organisms. He introduced binomial nomenclature in Species Plantarum.
