who developed the two-name classification system for naming plants
Two-Part Naming System. The scientific naming system that is used world-wide today was first devised by Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus in 1737. He proposed a two-part naming system which classifies every living organism with a string of Latin and Greek identifiers. Full names are devised starting with kingdom and extending downward through phylum, subphylum, class, order, family, genus and species.
