A botanist discovers a new species of plant. He or she studies this plant and finds out that it is indeed a new plant species that has never been described or classified before. The botanist has the honor of naming the plant in with the binomial nomenclature system, and this name is so specific that this is the only plant species with this name. It is not like a common name, which is named haphazardly by anyone, is different in any given language or have multiple names at once, and it can change over time.
