	Carolus Linnaeus
		Carolus Linnaeus (later, Carl von Linné) (May 23, 1707 - January 10, 1778) was a Swedish scientist who laid the foundations for the modern scheme of taxonomy.
		Although taxonomists, in almost any biological field, are familiar with the work of Carolus Linnaeus, his contribution to taxonomy goes far beyond contributing so-called scientific names to many of the world's plants and animals.
		It is the practice among taxonomists to include the name (abbreviated in most cases) of the describer of a species immediately following the binomial: Cocos nucifera L. is the complete scientific name for the coconut, and the "L." refers to Carolus Linnaeus.

	Elaeodendron croceum
		Since the species was described by Carl Peter Thunberg (1794) as Ilex crocea, it has been treated under several species names within Elaeodendron or Cassine.
		Thunberg encountered the species near the Grootvadersbosch near Swellendam in October 1774.
		His description of the wood is entirely correct but it is probably not as widely used as the yellowwood derived from the two species of Podocarpus also present in the Grootvadersbosch (with the possible exception of butter churns that have been reported as being made from wood of Elaeodendron croceum).

	Why do Japan drive on the Left

		In late 18th century, Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1822), a Swedish botanist, wrote in his book called "Edo travel accompaniment" that left-side passage was observed by all travellers on Japanese highways and added that a clear-cut traffic rule like this had to be set up in Europe as well.
