    The Scientific world uses complete names to reference species within families so while it looks like you could simply use the letter of the family/ species name and it would only refer to that specific item, it simply isn't so. We use the family name first then the species name, this can lead to a lot of different types of organisms looking like they are related when they really aren't. Using your question as the example.

    C. sinensis
    may refer to:
    So the answer is No, not all things refered to as C. sinensis are tea.
