Carl von Linné (May 23 1707 – January 10 1778) was Carl Linnaeus name after his ennoblement. He was a Swedish botanist, physician and zoologist who formalized the naming system of organisms – called the binomial nomenclature. The binomial nomenclature is a latin or latinized name of the organism. It consist of two parts, the first part indicates the genus and the second part is the specific name. Carl von Linné did his work at Uppsala University. He was in fact a multitalented and multifaceted human being as a whole and way ahead of his time. Here are some images from a recent visit to his beloved estate Hammarby. It is located a bit outside the city of Uppsala just to the north of Stockholm, the capitol of Sweden.
