Solution
The system of Binomial nomenclature was developed by Linnaeus (Philosophia Botanica, 1751). Binomial nomenclature is the system of naming organisms using a two-part Latinized (or scientific) name that was devised by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus; it is also known as the Linnaean system. The first part is the generic name (genus), the second is the specific epithet or name (species).
