Linnaeus, Carolus

Linnaeus, Carolus (Cail firme 1707-78) Swedish botanist He travelled round Europe and by 1735 had described more than 100 new species of plants. In 1749 he announced his system of binomial nomenclatme, which, with modification, has been used ever since foi all oiganlsms.

The main representative of the classic period of taxonomy, the discipline that classifies and identifies all living creatures, was Carolus Linnaeus (Linneo) (1707-1778), who divided living creatures in two kingdoms animal and vegetal, or the Animalia and... 

The Batavian Hippocrates, as he was sometimes called, certainly had an extremely broad education, including also the humanities and theology, and a remarkable grasp not only of medicine but also of botany and chemistry. In fact, he held chairs in all these three subjects at Leyden University. His international reputation was the main reason for the fame of its medical school, which attracted students from all over Europe, among them men such as Carolus Linnaeus and Albrecht von Haller, who would later become world famous in botany and physiology. Even the czar of all Russians, Peter the Great, attended Boerhaave s lectures during his stay in the Netherlands. 

In 1753, Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) published the Species Plantarum, providing the first systematic taxonomy of flowering plants and ferns. It was based largely on the external structures (morphologies) of flower parts. External appearance also played a major role in mineral classification. For example, gem-... 

Carolus Linnaeus (1707-78) published his book Species Plantarum in 1753 and started the science of taxonomy of plants as well as animals. Linnaean taxonomy, which remains the basis of modern classification, relies upon structure (morphology) and function. The close relationship between horses and zebras is quite clear to any observer. On the other hand, a new observer (a scientist from another planet ) would almost... 

Nomenclature Biologists who name newly discovered organisms use a system that is structured very much like the one used by chemists in naming compounds. The system used by biologists is called the Linnaean system of binomial nomenclature, after its creator, Carolus Linnaeus. Research this system in a biology textbook, and then note similarities and differences between the Linnaeus system and chemical nomenclature.
