The classification system was developed by a scientist called Carl Linnaeus or also known as Carolus Linnaeus or Karl Von Linne
Carl Linne, who after enoblement was known as Carl von Linne, and eventually Latinized his name to Carl Linneaeus. His stature in science is suggested by him being the '~type specimen' of humankind.
Carl Linnaeus was primarily interested in botany, taxonomy, and the classification of living organisms. He developed the system of binomial nomenclature, which is still widely used in naming species today. Linnaeus also had a passion for travel and exploration, which enabled him to study a wide variety of plant and animal species.
Carl Linnaeus is the man responsible for our organism classification system. He attended Lund, Uppsala, and the University of Harderwijk.
Carl Linnaeus lived in Sweden, primarily in the city of Uppsala. He was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician known for his work in developing the system of binomial nomenclature, the classification system for living organisms.
"Linn." after a plant's botanical name is an abbreviation in honor of the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, often referred to as the father of modern taxonomy. It indicates that the plant's scientific name has been standardized and classified according to the Linnaean system of naming and organizing living organisms.
