You can use any name, from the Linnaean name quoted with "la'o" to a selbri=
=20
with "la" in front. For example:

lo cionmau be la barda cu cionmau la'o .ly. Ailuropoda .ly .i lo cionmau be=
 la=20
cmalu cu cionmau la'o .ly. Ailurus .ly. (I sometimes jokingly call the latt=
er=20
"cionme'a".) Using the species place makes it clear you're not talking abou=
t a=20
panda bear cub, which could be called "cmalu cionmau".

ti gerku la dotco lange'u. This sounds redundant, but "lo dotco lange'u" co=
uld=20
refer to a Caucasian ovcharka who was born and lived all her life in German=
y.

"ti guzme la .luf." is equivalent to "ti panjyzme".

You can also use "lo'e se <some other plant/animal word>" in the species=20
place. E.g. "ti spati lo'e se guzme", "ti spati la'o ly. Cucurbitaceae .ly.=
",=20
and "ti guzme" are equivalent. Similarly Polygonaceae =3D lo'e se xruba. ("=
lo'e=20
se latna" and "lo'e se cionmau" aren't taxa, whatever they are.)

What are some plants or animals that you talk about or would like to?
