Species Plantarum

About “Species Plantarum”

Species Plantarum is a book by Carl Linnaeus, originally published in 1753. It lists every plant species known at the time, organized into genera. The book introduced the consistent use of binomial names for plants, establishing a system that became the foundation for modern plant naming. It marked the beginning of a standardized approach to classifying and naming plant species. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
