NOMENCLATURE 

 Pre-Iiinn. nomenclature 



Before the publication by Linnceus of the 

 10th edition of the Sy sterna Natures (1768), 

 which is the starting point for modern bi- 

 nomial nomenclature, numerous writers had 

 compiled lists of local or vernacular names 

 with attempted appropriate designations in 

 Latin or Greek. The following titles which 

 partly represent such attempts will be found 

 in the Pre-Linn. section. Albin, E. 1735.1; 

 Barrfere, P. 1741.1; Breton, R. 1665.1; 

 Charleton, G. 1667.1; Eber, P. & Peucer, 



C. 1551.1; Estienne, C. 1536.1; Fabri- 

 cius, G. 1569.1; Figulus, C. 1540.1; 

 Gesner, C. 1556.1; Gilles, P. 1535.2; 

 Mortimer, C. 1740.1; Peucer, C. 1550.1; 

 Quercu, L. 1539.1; Salviani, H. 1554.1; 

 Schonevelde, S. A. 1624.1. 



Forerunners of Linnceus: earlier writers 

 who recognized modern basis of classifica- 

 tion but who used polynomial nomenclature.
