Limneo. Il sesso delle piante

Carl Linnaeus’s lasting legacy, hands down, is binomial nomenclature. He transformed what was once a clunky system for naming organisms, involving a formal name and a lengthy description, into a simple, two-part title. Such efficiency was wildly popular among taxonomists in the 18th century, and binomial nomenclature has withstood centuries of scientific progress toward understanding the relationships among organisms.
