Carl Linnaeus Meeting Bernard de Jussieu, 1738
Linnaeus (center) visited the de Jussieu (right) in 1738, but despite the congenial meeting and the eventual prestige of the Linnaean system, Bernanrd de Jussieu remained unconvinced. The sexual system classification was inadequate for information retrieval and predictive generalization. Bernard attempted to arrange the living plants in the Royal Botantical Garden based upon what he believed to be overall similarity, but he was never completely satisfied with the arrangement and never published his system of classification. Carl Linnaeus (May 23, 1707 - January 10, 1778) was a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, who laid the foundations for the modern scheme of binomial nomenclature. Bernard de Jussieu (August 17, 1699 - November 6, 1777) was a French naturalist.
