^RTIFICI^VL SY^STEM OF LI^^^^ITJS. 



The s_vstem of LiiiniPus (i 707-1 778), comprised twcntv-tbur classes, distinguished from 

 each other b}^ certain external peculiarities, relating to the stamens and pistils, which were 

 exJDressed by equivalent Greek compound words, and is therefore called artificial. Though 

 superseded by the natural systems of more recent botanists, it still possesses both interest 

 and value, as much of the terminology of Linnsus has been permanently ingrafted on 

 botanical science. Among other things, he was author of the binomial system of naming 

 plants bv the genus and specific characteristic. This system is as follows:
