daniellii

Daniellii is a specific epithet used in the scientific names of various organisms. In binomial nomenclature, the name of a species combines a genus with a specific epithet; daniellii is a Latinized, masculine suffix meaning "of Daniell" and is typically used to honor a person with the surname Daniell. Epithets like daniellii are governed by the rules of botanical and zoological nomenclature and are not capitalized.

The epithet daniellii appears in taxa across plants and animals, and it may be used in more than one genus. Because the same epithet can occur in different genera, the full binomial name (genus plus daniellii) is required to identify a species. The author or authority and year of description, along with the broader taxonomic classification, are used to distinguish among species with the same epithet.

Usage of daniellii, as with other -ii endings, is to honor an individual rather than to describe a trait. In some naming traditions, feminine forms such as -iae may be used to honor a woman; conventions vary by tradition and jurisdiction.

For precise information about any particular species named daniellii, the full scientific name and taxonomic records should be consulted in reliable databases such as IPNI for plants or zoological databases for animals. The epithet itself does not uniquely identify a species and is best understood in the context of the complete binomial name and associated authority.
