Binomial nomenclature

Binomial nomenclature; also known as binomial designation, scientific name, or Latin name; was a system of naming organisms with a formal name of two terms: genus and species. (PROSE: The Menagerie) Subspecies were given a third term. (PROSE: The Pirate Loop)

Earth species

Animals

Reptiles

The Silurians and their "underwater cousins" the Sea Devil were known as Homo reptilia. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters, Doctor Who and the Sea-Devils, TV: The Hungry Earth) Both groups of Earth Reptiles were also known as Homo Reptilicus. (PROSE: First Frontier) Alternatively, Petronella Osgood referred to both Silurians and Sea Devils as Reptilia sapiens. (AUDIO: Tidal Wave)

Birds

Invertebrates

Plants

At the gardens on the Scientifica colony, Adric saw each plant had a nameplate that included their common and scientific names. (PROSE: Cold Fusion)

Fungi

Microorganisms

Gallifreyan species

The I-Spyder Book of Earth Creatures gave Time Lords the binomial nomenclature of Dominus temporis. (PROSE: The Last Dodo)

Madevinia aridosa was the name of a Gallifreyan flower. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible)
