linnaean
Linnaean refers to the biological classification system developed by 18th-century Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus, which orders species into a hierarchy of kingdom, class, order, family, genus and species. It can also relate to anything concerning Linnaeus himself or his contribution to the field of taxonomy. This system is also referred to as binomial nomenclature, where each species is identified by a two-part name: genus and species.
