Move to Scientific name reverted as it was against Wikipedia policy of using common names where possible. See Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Use_common_names_of_persons_and_things

It's part of a project discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life#Scientific name page titles. It makes the indexing at Category:Podocarpaceae work in that it groups all species in the genus together. Over 90% of the species in Podocarpaceae don't have any common name at all; to have a small handful indexed separately by common name is unhelpful. - MPF 11:15, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

On the other hand WikiProject_Tree_of_Life#Article_titles_and_common_names says to use the common name if unique. Alan Liefting 09:06, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
