I would suggest substituting the term scientific names for Latin names. Yes, many are Latin, but as others have pointed out, many are not and come from Greek or indigenous languages. Others still are “latinized” names of people, e.g., Clarkia lewisii, https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=76376.
