• Question

  My name is Sajid. I am a writer from India. I am writing a science fiction-horror story about a Tree with carnivorous properties. The tree is supposed to have camouflage properties as well. The following is a Fictional Scientific Name I have given to the tree: //CARNIVORA arbor-camouflagensis// Is it meaningful? Will it be correct if I use it. Any suggestions?

  Answer

  Dear deadmansfolly, to be brief but not judgmental, the scientific name you have chosen would not be believable to anyone with an understanding of scientific names. But, I do have one for you. Cryptodendra zoophagia. To breakdown its parts, Crypto-dendra is "hidden or conceal-tree" and zoophagia is "animal eating" (or animal-devouring). I hope this is helpful. Good luck with your writing.
