Jean Bauhin was the son of a French doctor, a native of Amiens, who had been converted to protestantism by reading the Latin translation of the New Testament prepared by Erasmus.
Gaspard was however more fortunate than Jean, in that he lived to see the publication of three important preliminary volumes, as the result of his researches, and it is on these that his reputation rests.
Bauhin's `Pinax' converted chaos into order, since it contained the first complete and methodical concordance of the names of plants, and was so authoritative as to earn for the author the title of "législateur en botanique." The work, which dealt with about 6000 plants, was recognised as pre-eminent for many years.

 Fuchs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Accordingly, using a binomial system very similar to modern biological nomenclature, Gaspard Bauhin, a Swiss botanist of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, designated plants by a generic and a specific name.
Refining the principles of systematic botanical classification developed by the 16th-century Italian botanist Andrea Cesalpino, Bauhin was first to clearly delineate botanical species and groups of species, or genera, utilizing the concept of natural relationships, or "affinities," as criteria for his classifications.
Bauhin's brother Jean (1541-1613), also a physician and botanist, is known for his Historia plantarum universalis (1650-51; "General History of Plants"), in which he rendered elaborate descriptions of more than 5,000 species.

The idea of naming species with binomials was introduced by the 18th century Swedish botanist Linnaeus (1707-1778) as part of a comprehensive reform of the way in which the natural world is named and classified.
Note that binomials had been used earlier by Gaspard Bauhin (1560-1624), but without any formal recommendation to adopt such an approach.
Note also that the genus + species binomial corresponds to the noun + adjective format that is encountered in folk taxonomies.

Scientific names were first introduced in the sixteenth century by Jean and Gaspard Bauhin, Swiss brothers who were botanists.
One part of the name is shared by a related group of similar kinds of things, the second part of the name applies to individuals.
The Bauhin brothers used Greek and Latin names, because they were the languages which, in those days, educated people used.

Higher taxa were constructed and arranged in a simple and orderly manner.
Although the system now known as binomial nomenclature was developed by the Bauhin brothers (see Gaspard Bauhin and Johann Bauhin) almost 200 years earlier, Linnaeus may be said to have popularized it within the scientific community.
Linnaeus named taxa in ways that personally struck him as common-sensical; for example, human beings are Homo sapiens (see sapience), but he also described a second human species, Homo troglodytes ("cave-dwelling man", by which he meant the chimpanzee currently most often placed in a different genus as Pan troglodytes).

The two lobes may have inspired the eighteenth-century Swedish taxonomist Carl von Linnaeus, who in 1753 named the genus in honor of a pair of Swiss botanists, the Bauhin brothers.
Although the Bauhins lived more than a century before Linnaeus, one of them, Gaspard, was the first to list plants by giving them two names according to a classification system.
Thus Gaspard Bauhin was the true inventor of the binomial system of nomenclature, which is generally credited to Linnaeus.
