The Goals of the Introduction are to

You must unambiguously identify the plant you are studying.

Identify the plant's Family &  state the correct Scientific Name of the Species you are using.

A Scientific Name = Genus species (Authority)

The first part of a scientific name is the
Genus
The second part is called the
specific epithet.

The Authority can be abbreviated for well-known people
i.e. (L.) = Linneaus or

The Full Last Name of the Authority is used for lesser luminaries i.e. (Webb).

Examples = Webbium minimus (L.) or Webbium maximus (Webb)

The full scientific name with its authority must also be stated at the beginning of the
Materials & Methods,
the
Title
and the
Abstract!

Otherwise, it is customary to abbreviate the Genus and use the full specific epithet. (i.e. T. minimus).

Important Note: Latin or latinized words must be typed in italics. This includes the scientific name but NOT Families or higher taxonomic categories.
