Carl von Linné (Carolus Linnæus, 1707-1778) was the ultimate taxonomist, the father of modern natural science, princeps botanicorum (prince of botanists). The system of binomial nomenclature that he perfected is the cornerstone of an international community of scientists, newly able to refer to a species using a standard language. His Systema Naturæ (1735) was the first to lay out his scientific Weltanschauung, and went through 12 editions under his supervision, reflecting new discoveries. After his death, the Systema diverged; Johan Anders Murray excerpted the part relating only to plants (vegetabilia) into a "thirteenth" edition -- confusingly, there is also a thirteenth edition of the whole Systema -- that then ran to two further; thus, this "fifteenth" edition is in fact the third edition of the Systema Vegetabilium. The present item is the first edited by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, himself an eminent mycologist. Pritzel 5430.
