( below:) Linnaea borealis L. 1753/ Twinflower/ Linnea/ 林內花/ 北極花

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. )

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.
