C. LINNAEUS 

 (Carl von Linne) 



Born at Rashult, Sweden, 1707; died at Upsala, 1778. 

 Brought together in a systematic form all the available 

 descriptions of plants, added immensely from the results of 

 his own observation, and so established on a firm basis the 

 study of the classification of plants. His great work was the 

 Species Plantarum (1753).
