- Carolus Linnaeus from Sweden came.
Taxonomy has brought him fame.
Two things did he while he was there
At Upsala, with powdered hair.
The taxonomic hi’rarchy
And species names for all that be.
- The Kingdom’s the highest top-ranking batch,
And Phylum is the second match.
Now, Class then Order stand in line,
And Family for bird or pine.
The genius of Genus, too,
Then Species, and we’re fin’lly through.
- Now, Genus and Species he did combine
In scientific names, so fine.
The Genus has a capital
While Species is in letters small.
Remember words to separate
And underline before you’re late!
- Carolus Linnaeus from Sweden came.
Taxonomy has brought him fame.
Two things did he while he was there
At Upsala, with powdered hair.
