Question

If one plant is named Salvia greggii and another is named Salvia vanhouttei, what does this tell you about these plants?

Answer 1

If one plant is named Salvia greggii and another is named Salvia vanhouttei, what this tells me about these plants is that they belong to the same genus and to different species. If you remember from your biology classes, genus always has the first capital letter, and species is all in lower case.
