Carl Linnaeus (1707 - 1778) laid the foundations of our modern botanical classification system, which is called binomial nomenclature. He is known as the father of modern taxonomy, since he began with a nested hierarchy which is broken into three Kingdoms, which in turn are divided into Classes, which are broken into Orders, then into Genera, and finally into Species.
