Question

First book in which binomial nomenclature of plants was used and that was written by Linnaeus is:

• A. Origin of species
• B. Genera Plantarum
• C. Systema Naturae
• D. Species Plantarum

Answer 1

The correct option is D Species Plantarum

Species Plantarum by Carl Linnaeus, lists every species of plant known at the time. It is the first work to consistently apply binomial names.

Systema Naturae and Genera Plantarum are both books written by Carl Linnaeus. In Systema Naturae, he introduces the Linnaean taxonomy and in Genera Plantarum he has introduced several new genera.

Origin of species is a book by Charles Darwin and it speaks about evolution.
