<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Biology ==<br /> In biological nomenclature, a '''generic name''' or &quot;the name of a genus&quot; (sometimes &quot;genus name&quot;) is the name of a [[genus]]. In any scientific name to consist of more than one part, the name of the genus will be the first part. <br /> <br /> :In ''Chamaecyparis lawsoniana'' 'Allumii', the first part (''Chamaecyparis'') is the generic name. <br /> <br /> Any generic name can also be used independently to refer to the genus. Many generic names have passed into common language as common names: ''Dahlia'', ''Geranium'', ''Mimosa'', ''Sequoia'', etc.<br /> <br /> See also [[Nomenclature Codes]] <br /> <br /> == Drugs ==<br /> In referring to drugs, &quot;generic name&quot; is a phrase that is equivalent to an [[International Nonproprietary Name]]. For example the [[list of drugs]] by name includes both [[brand name]]s (with capital initials) and generic names (with a small initial letter).<br /> <br /> [[Category:botanical nomenclature]]<br /> [[Category:zoological nomenclature]]</div>
