How to write a scientific name
Write the genus name.
Use an online scientific name finder, such as sciname finder, to look up the genus of your organism. Underline or italicize the genus name, and capitalize the first letter.
For example, let's say you were writing the scientific name of the snake plant, a tropical plant native to west africa. The genus name would be written sansevieria or sansevieria.
