Rajasthan PMTRajasthan PMT 2008

Solution:

Linnaeus not only laid the foundation of taxonomy but also introduced binomial nomenclature. Binomial nomenclature consists of two parts, the first is the name of the Genus, the second called the specific epithet identifies the particular species within the genus. Linnaeus, adopted the artificial system of classification. George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker proposed the natural system of classification of plant kingdom. Julian Huxley (1940) proposed the term new systematics which takes into consideration all the known characteristics of organisms.
