Biological names are generally in Latin and written in italics. They are Latinised or derived from Latin irrespective of their origin. Both the words in a biological name, when handwritten, are separately underlined, or printed in italics to indicate their Latin origin. The first word denoting the genus starts with a capital letter while the specific epithet starts with a small letter. It can be illustrated with the example of Mangifera indica.
