The classification system of Linnaeus was based on floral characteristics. He chiefly used characters of stamen’s. Therefore, his system is called sexual system. This system is very convenient for the identification of plants. I le presented his classification system in two books. These books are Species Plantarum and Genera Plantarum.
Advantages of Linnaeus system: Linnaeus was first to introduced some system of classification. It gave some basic knowledge of classification. So it was widely accepted by the taxonomists of that time. It provided a reference work. He gave clear cut concept of species. This concept is still used today.
Disadvantage of Linnaeus system: Linnaeus declared his system as artificial or temporary. He realized that that this system should be changed with some natural system. Linnaeus grouped some unrelated plants due to similarity in flower structure. Similarly. Linnaeus was a religious person.opposed the concept of evolution in classification.
