Order is the prerequisite for recognizing commonalities and understanding connections. This need is probably also the reason why people at all times and all over the world have created systems of order for plants. One of these systems was designed by the Swedish naturalist Carl von Linné. In his monumental work "Species Plantarum", published in 1753, he arranged all plant species known to him on 1200 pages, assigning them a two-part name consisting of genus and species.
