§ 216. | 
The name of a class or order can never be received. 
as the name of a genus. 
The antients often use the name of a whole fa- 
mily for a single genus. ‘This leads beginners into 
error, and one sometimes knows not whether a class 
or a genus is meant. ‘Thus we find Lilium, Palma, 
Muscus, Filix, Fungus, &c.

The highest reward of a botanist is to have a genus 
called after his name: 
No monument of marble or brass is so lasting as 
this. It is the only way of perpetuating the me- 
mories of true botanists, or of those who have be- 
nefited the science. 
The names of botanists must be preserved un- 
changed, only giving them a proper Latin termina- 
tion; as, 
_ Linnza, Royenia, Thunbergia, Sparmannia, Gle- 
ditschia, Halleria, Buxbaumia, Smithia, &c. 
§ 218. 
For. the better distinguishing of the species, Linné, 
Besides the generic name, contrived a second, whicli 
he called the trivial name, (nomen triviale, § 220).
