In botanical nomenclature, the Principle V of ICBN (currently Vienna
Code) says,"Scientific names of taxonomic groups are treated as Latin
regardless of their derivation.". There are many such examples where
two words are mixed together to make one species or generic name, for
example, "Ophioglossum" (Ophio is greek meaning, Snake, and glossum is
also greek meaning tongue); "Bulbophyllum" (Bulb is english and
phyllum is greek for leaves), not a big deal...
Putranjiva is a sanskrit word that too made of two more sansrit words,
Putra and Jeeva, but when written in botany it will be automatically
treated as LATIN!!
