A scientific name consists of the genus name and the specific name. It is a universal name for a species, therefore it is the same all over the world. A common name however, is a very generalized name. The common name of a particular species in one place may be very different in another. The same common name may also be used for two very differerent species. Therefore, scientific names are much more useful in identifying species.
