Charaka Samhita is a Sanskrit text on Ayurveda. It describes ancient theories on the human body, etiology, and therapeutics for a wide range of diseases that was written by Charaka.
Systema Naturae is the book written by Linnaeus that describes various species of animals and he is popularly known as the Father of taxonomy with his great knowledge.
Species Plantarum is the book written by Linnaeus in 1753 which became the starting point for the nomenclature of plants, as no names are recognized prior to that.
