The Two Main Flavors of Data: Qualitative and Quantitative At the highest level, two kinds of data exist: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data deals with numbers and things you can measure objectively: dimensions such as height, width, and length. Temperature and humidity.
Iris fulva [edit]. Iris fulva, common name copper iris, is noted by its fulva color of rusty red to brownish orange or rare yellow forms. In 1812, this species was named by J.B. Ker-Gawler from a specimen found in the surrounding New Orleans area.ris nelsonii, common name Abbeville Red or Super Fulva, was the most recently discovered and named Louisiana iris. In 1938, W. B. MacMillan discovered the plant species; in 1966 Randolph named the iris.
Scientific names are also designed to tell you something about the animal's relationships with other animals. The scientific name of each species is made up of a generic name (generic epithet) and a specific name (specific epithet).In our bluegill sunfish example the generic epithet is Lepomis and the specific epithet is macrochirus.he specific name, megalotis, means big ears.. Another example is, whose scientific name is Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus, which literally means yellow-headed, yellow head.. Scientific names also sometimes bear the names of people who were instrumental in discovering or describing the species.
