The subspecies name follows the species name, is italicized, but does not get a capital letter (just like the species name). The basic format is thus "''Genus species subspecies''". For example, ''Elephas maximus indicus'' for Indian elephant. In botany, the subspecies name is preceded by an unitalicized "sups." or "ssp." For example, ''Raphanus raphanistrum'' subsp. ''sativus'' for radish.
