Carl Linnaeus, also known as Carolus Linnaeus, was a renowned Swedish botanist and zoologist who made significant contributions to the field of taxonomy. His most notable work, "Systema Naturae, " published in 1736, revolutionized the classification of plants and animals. One of his remarkable discoveries includes record 3688 - Helianthus annus, commonly known as the sunflower. Linnaeus meticulously studied this vibrant flower and classified it within his taxonomic system. In addition to his groundbreaking research on plant classification, Linnaeus also developed a plant sex system in 1807. This system allowed for a better understanding of how plants reproduce and contributed to advancements in agricultural practices. To honor his immense contributions to science, there is a magnificent Carl Linnaeus monument located in Stockholm, Sweden. This monument serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy and impact on the scientific community. Several portraits exist that depict Carl Linnaeus throughout history. One such portrait from 1827 by Johan Gustaf Sandberg captures the essence of this esteemed scientist. Another engraving from the 19th century showcases him with utmost respect and admiration. Linnaeus's passion for botanical exploration led him to Lapland where he conducted extensive research on flora and fauna. These expeditions further solidified his expertise in natural sciences and expanded our knowledge about various species found in northern regions. The Coat of Arms belonging to the Linnaeus family is an artistic representation created using gouache and watercolor on paper. It symbolizes their heritage while paying homage to Carl's exceptional achievements.
