The most famous botanical systematist of all time was given the name Carl Linnaeus at birth, and published under that name or the Latinised equivalent Carolus Linnaeus. He adopted the name Carl von Linné after his ennoblement in 1761, and presumably went by that name thereafter. In this day and age, every botanist, and indeed a great many non-botanists, are familiar with the name Linneaus, but most of them wouldn't have a clue who this von Linné chap was. Therefore I propose a move to Category:Carl Linnaeus. Hesperian 02:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
