Vermes ("worms") is an obsolete taxon used by Carolus Linnaeus and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck for all non-arthropod invertebrate animals. Linnaeus divided the group as follows: Intestina Mollusca Testacea Lithophyta Zoophyta Appart from the Mollusca (molluscs), Linnaeus' included a very diverse and rather mismatched assemblage of animals on the categories. The Intestina group encompassed various parasitic animals, shelled molluscs were placed in the Testacea, together with barn ...

Anders (Andreas) Dahl (March 17, 1751 - May 25, 1789) was a Swedish botanist and student of Carolus Linnaeus. The dahlia flower is named after him. In 1770, Dahl entered Uppsala University as a freshman (Carolus Linnaeus died in 1778). After receiving the bachelor's degree, he worked in Gothenburg as curator of the private natural museum and botanic garden of Claes Alströmer. In 1786 he received a medical doctor's degree at the University of Kiel, Germany. In 1787 he started to teach medicine and botany at the university in

Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. Modern classification has its roots in the system of Carolus Linnaeus, who grouped species according to shared physical characteristics. These groupings have been revised since Linnaeus to improve consistency with the Darwinian principle of common descent. Molecular systematics, which uses genomic DNA analysis, has driven many recent revisions and is likely to continue to do so. Scientific class ...

William Watson (3 April 1715 – 10 May 1787) was an English physician and scientist who was born and died in London. His early work was in botany, and he helped to introduce the work of Carolus Linnaeus into England. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1741 and vice president in 1772. In 1746 he showed that the capacity of the Leyden jar could be increased by coating it inside and out with lead foil. In the same year he proposed that the two types of electricity—vitreous and resinous—posited by DuFay were actually a ...

In biology, a species is the basic unit of biodiversity. In scientific classification, a species is assigned a two-part name in Latin. The genus is listed first (and capitalized), followed by a specific epithet. For example, humans belong to the genus Homo, and are in the species Homo sapiens. The name of the species is the whole binomial not just the second term (the specific epithet). The binomial, and most other purely formal aspects of the biological codes of nomenclature, were formalized by Carolus Linnaeus in the 1 ...

The Cathedral of Uppsala is the largest church building in Scandinavia, being 118.7 m high. The construction of the cathedral began in 1287, but it would take more than a century to complete the construction. It was inaugurated 1435 under archbishop Olaus Laurentii, but was actually still not completely finished. It was dedicated to the saints Lawrence, a most cherished saint in all of Sweden at that time, Eric the Saint the patron of Sweden, and Saint Olaf the patron of Norway. After completion in the following decades, it has been d ...

The Chestnut oak (Quercus montana, or Quercus prinus in some references) is one of the chestnut oak subgroup of the white oak group, genus Quercus section Quercus. It is native to the eastern United States, where it is one of the most important ridgetop trees from southern Maine southwest to central Mississippi, with an outlying northwestern population in southern Michigan. As a consequence of its dry habitat and ridgetop exposure, it is not usually a large tree, typically 20-30m tall; occasional specimens ...

About 50, including: Lagerstroemia indica Lagerstroemia speciosa The Crape-myrtles Lagerstroemia are a genus of about 50 species of deciduous and evergreen trees or large shrubs native to east Asia and Australia. They have sinewy-looking fluted stems whose bark peels off; each year the parts peel off between those that peeled off last year, or where squirrels scratch it, giving a patchy appearance. The leaves are opposite, simple, with entire margins, and vary from 5-20 cm long. The flowers have ...

In biology, binomial nomenclature is the formal method of naming species. As the word "binomial" suggests, the scientific name of a species is formed by the combination of two terms: the genus name and the species descriptor. Although the fine detail will differ, there are certain aspects which are universally adopted: Scientific names are usually printed in italics, such as Homo sapiens. When handwritten they should be underlined. The first term (genus name / generic name) is always capitali ...
