Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (gelatiniseerd als Carolus Linnaeus) of, nadat hij in 1761 in de adelstand was verheven, Carl von Linné (gelatiniseerd als Carolus a Linné) (Råshult, 23 mei 1707 – Uppsala, 10 januari 1778) was een Zweeds arts, plantkundige, zoöloog en geoloog. Zijn invloedrijkste werken zijn Species plantarum, waarvan de eerste druk (1753) sinds 1905 geldt als beginpunt van de botanische nomenclatuur, en Systema naturae, waarvan de tiende druk (1758) geldt als beginpunt van de zoölogische nomenclatuur. De auteursnaam 'L.' (bij planten) of 'Linnaeus' (bij dieren) betekent dat Linnaeus degene is die voor het taxon de eerste geldige naam heeft gepubliceerd. Het wil niet automatisch zeggen dat Linnaeus ook degene was die het taxon voor het eerst beschreef. Lees meer op Wikipedia
