No one has been a greater botanist or zoologist. No one has written more books, more correctly, more methodically, from personal experience. No one has more completely changed a whole science and started a new epoch.
CARL LINNAEUS
It is the genus that gives the characters, and not the characters that make the genus.
![Carl Linnaeus Quote - The species and the genus are always the work of nature [i.e. specially created]; the variety mostly that of circumstance; the class and the order are the work of nature and art.](https://minimalistquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/the-species-and-the-genus-are-always-the-work-of-n-683x1024.jpg)
