凡是学习植物学的同志,都有机会接触到植物的学名。特别是学习种子植物分类的大专学生,学名对他们来说,更是朝夕相见。他们经常为学名的难以理解和记忆而感到学习上有困难。由于学名在种子植物分类学上占有一定的地位,了解了它的一些基本知识,会使我们增加对学习的兴趣,因此有必要把有关学名的基本知识,简单地加以介绍。学名的最主要部分是由两个字组合而成的。第一个字是属名,第二个是种名,最后还附上命名人的名或姓,这也就是林奈所确定下来的双名法,也就是他的全部科学活动贡献之一。他曾定下命名规则三十一条,而双名法便是其中最重要的一项。一、学名文字的来源学名的文字,多源于拉丁文和希腊文。林奈当初订定的三十一条,其中有一条,即主张只能引用这两种文字。但现代应用的学名,除援引拉丁文和希腊文外,尚有引用他国语言文字 All those who study botany, have the opportunity to come into contact with the scientific name of plants. In particular, college students studying seed plants classification, scientific name for them, it is day and night meet. Often, they find it difficult to learn because of the hard-to-understand and memorable academic names. As the scientific name occupies a certain position in the taxonomy of seed plants, knowing some of its basic knowledge will increase our interest in learning. Therefore, it is necessary to briefly introduce the basic knowledge of scientific names. The main part of the scientific name is a combination of two words. The first word is the generic name, the second is the name of the species, and finally the name or surname of the named person is attached. This is also the double name law determined by Linnaeus and one of his contributions to all scientific activities. He had laid down naming rule 31, while the double name law was the most important one of them. First, the source of scientific name Scientific name of the text, mostly from Latin and Greek. Lin Nai originally set thirty-one, of which there is one, that advocate can only quote these two languages.
