Botanical nomenclature is the formal, scientific naming of plants, governed by an internationally agreed set of rules and recommendations known as the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN). It ensures that each plant species has a unique and universally accepted name, facilitating clear communication and research across different languages and regions.
