If in the original description the species was assigned to a different genus from that to which it is assigned today, the abbreviation or name of the describer and the description date are set in parentheses.
For example: (plant) Amaranthus retroflexus L., and (animal) Passer domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) – the latter was described by Linneus as Fringilla domestica.
When used with a common name, the scientific name often follows in parentheses, although this varies with publication.
