Who was Linneaus?

Answer 1

I believe he is a botanist.

Answer

Carolus Linnaeus

The 1735 publication of Systema naturae established the fame of Linnaeus with an organized classification structure for all living things. The binomial system of nomenclature, now the basis for naming and classifying all organisms, was first introduced by Linnaeus in 1749. In his Species plantarum in 1753 Linnaeus attempted to name and describe all known plants, calling each kind a species and assigning to each a two-part Greek or Latin name consisting of the genus (group) name followed by the species name. Many of his names of flowering plants survive with little if any change -- for example, Quercus Alba for white oak. The 1758 edition of Systema naturae extended binomial classification to animals.
