Species: Group of plants that resemble each other. In biology, a species is designated by a binomial of the genus name (in uppercase) followed by the species name (usually in lower case), and both terms are always in Latin or Latinized. E.g., Coleus (genus) blumei (species). A genus is a group of species.
