"System of nature through the three kingdoms of nature, according to classes, orders, genera and species, with [generic] characters, [specific] differences, synonyms, places" (as translated in the Wikipedia article, “Systema Naturae”). The first edition (1735) divides the natural world into the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, and the mineral kingdom. The 10th edition is the first publication to use binomial (genus-species) nomenclature throughout. Linnaeus is often referred to as the father of taxonomy.
