Dear Garg ji,

Thanks for the very useful link but if the reason that genus and species names are italicized is that they do not belong to the English language then the family names or order names e.g. Asterales should also be italicized as they too are Latin words. Perhaps best to take it as an internationally accepted convention rather than search for a grammatical basis for the same.

With sincere regards

Dear Gurcharan ji,

Thanks

It puts all speculation to rest.

As scientists we follow international conventions be it Physìcs or Chemistry orBotany or any other discipline.
