"Species Plantarum, Sections I-III" by Carl von Linné is a scientific publication written in the mid-18th century. This foundational text lays the groundwork for modern botanical nomenclature, introducing a systematic classification of plant species and their characteristics. The work is primarily concerned with categorizing plants into specific genera and species, providing clear descriptions and systematic details for each entry. The opening of this work provides an extensive introduction to the methodology and aims of the author, emphasizing the importance of systematic classification in botany. Linné discusses his personal journey exploring various geographical areas to study plants, acknowledges previous botanists, and sets out the principles he adhered to in naming and describing over ten thousand species. He also introduces the symbols and nomenclature used throughout the text, foreshadowing the structured approach he applies to plant classification in the subsequent sections.
