Linnaea Gronov. ex L. 1753
{ As a young man Linnaeus named this small twin flower " Linnæa" in his early papers. However, later in the manuscript of Systema Naturae he replaced it with "Rudbeckia*". }
Linnaea was formally named by Linnaeus' teacher and patron Jan Frederik Gronovius ( 10 Feb. 1686- 10. Jul. 1762), and Linnaeus added borealis, meaning Nordic. Linnaeus took this flower as his own personal symbol when he was raised to the Swedish nobility in 1757.
Of it, Linnaeus said "Linnaea was named by the celebrated Gronovius and is a plant of Lapland, lowly, insignificant, disregarded, flowering but for a brief time—from Linnaeus, who resembles it". __The first edition of Linnaeus' Species Plantarum published in 1753.

* Rudbeckia was later named by Linnaeus in honor of his teacher at Uppsala University, Professor Olof Rudbeck the Younger ( Mar. 15 1660- Mar.23 1740), and his father, Professor Olof Rudbeck the Elder ( Sep. 13 1630- Dec. 12 1702), both of them were botanists.

( P.S.: In 1737, Gronovius described the Transvaal daisy, naming it Gerbera for the German medical doctor Traugott Gerber ( 16 Jan. 1710- 8 Feb. 1743), also a friend of Linnaeus. )
Arnica L. 1753 山金車 屬 Type species: Arnica montana L.
Gerbera L. 1758 非洲菊 屬 Type species: Gerbera linnaei Cass. 1821 syn. Arnica gerbera L. 1753
Gerbera jamesonii was discovered in 1884 near Barberton, South Africa, by Scotsman Robert Jameson. The flower's scientific name, Gerbera jamesonii, is from the name of its founder. Many modern cut flower forms of Gerbera are derived from crosses between G. jamesonii and G. viridifolia.

The genus was first described in 1737 by Dutch botanist Jan Gronoviusom (niderl. Jan Frederik Gronovius, 1690-1762) and named in honor of his colleague, German physician and botanist Traugott Gerber (German Traugott Gerber, 1710-1743), Director of the Pharmaceutical Garden (botanical garden) in Moscow in 1735-1742 years, researcher of flora of the Volga. Linnaeus used the name in his paper published in 1758. Since the terms of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature scientific plant names published prior to May 1, 1753, are not considered truly promulgated, formally Linney is the author of this name and genus name is written as Gerbera L. In the literature, is sometimes found another version of the origin of the name kind - from the Latin. herba «grass." In the English-language literature is also known as gerbera transvaal daisy - Transvaal daisy (daisy). http://jarden.su/en/gallery/cut_flowers/gerbera.html
The breeding of gerbera started at the end of the 19th century in Cambridge, England when two South African species, G. jamesonii and G. viridifolia, were crossed by R.I. Lynch. He named the hybrid as Gerbera × cantebrigiensis, known today also as Gerbera hybrida. http://www.helsinki.fi/gerberalab/research_historyofgerbera.html
