INTRODUCTION There are three domains of non-living matter and living organisms in the physical universe. The Domain Protista Protist contains nonliving matter, and the microbes which are viruses, bacteria, protophytes (microscopic protoplants) and protozoans (microscopic animalcules). The Domain Plantae Plant contains the spore plants (plants that reproduce by spore) and the seed plants (plants that reproduce by seed). The Domain Animalia Animal contains the invertebrates (animals with no spinal cord & backbone) and the vertebrates (animals with a spinal cord & backbone) There are nine kingdoms; 5 in the Protist Domain (1 Materia Nonliving Matter, 2 Microbeavirus Microbe Virus, 3 Phytovirus Plant Virus, 4 Zoovirus Animal Virus, and 5 Bacteria Bacteria), 2 in the Plant Domain (6 Sporophyta Spore Plant, and 7 Spermatophyta Seed Plant and 2 in the Animal Domain (8 Achordata Invertebrate, and 9 Chordata Vertebrate). The Fusillo Nature Classification System makes a distinction between plants that are cultivated by Man and plants that only occur in the wild. Plants that are cultivated by Man include fruit plants, herb plants, vegetable plants, and flower plants. The Kingdom Sporophyta Spore Plant contains Subkingdom 1 Algophyta Algae, Subkingdom 2 Fungi Fungus, Subkingdom 3 Bryata Moss and Subkingdom 4 Filicata Fern. Edible Algae are included in Subkingdom 5 Algovegetophyta Cultivated Algae. Genus species Nomeclature Carl Linnaeus created the Genus species Latin Classification System for naming species and defining the human uses of nonliving matter, microbes plants and animals as a COMMERCIAL SYSTEM for enhancing commerce between the countries of Europe. In 1735 as he travelled through Europe he found that each province and town in a particular country had their own colloquial names or nicknames for minerals, microbes, herbs, fruits, vegetables, flowers, foliage landscape plants and animal meats. He sought to expedite commerce between provinces and countries by creating a universally recognized name for all non-living and living things. Since CLASSIFICATION was for COMMERCE, he included the HUMAN USE of the minerals as natural resources, microbes as antibiotics, plants as herbs, vegetables, fruits, flowers, or landscape foliage, and animals as meat or dairy. The HUMAN USE was part of the original Linnaeus Latin Classification System. Carl Linnaeus [1707-1778], born in Sweden, was first trained as a physician and later became a professor of botany at Uppsala University in southeast Sweden. His book Systema Naturae (1st Edition 1735) began a series of encyclopedic works dealing with plants, animals, minerals, and medicinal herbs which classified and named the whole organic world, thereby providing the basis for the Latin classification system currently used by botanists. He was a prodigious writer and published works totaling more than 180 titles. His original system of classifying plants, based on the number of stamens and pistals, was expanded to include classification based on other plant characteristics. His most permanent contribution to botany was his introduction in 1753 of his book Species Planetarium (Sp.Pl.) which presented a consistent binomial system of naming species by means of a single-word generic name (Genus) followed by a single-word specific epithet (species). His plant specimen collection is now at the Burlington House in London and belongs to the Linnaean Society of London. In the tenth edition of his book Systema Naturae, published in 1758, he added Latin two word binomial names for all known animals. By 1758, Carl Linnaeus had created Latin names for 7,700 species of plants and 4,400 species of animals. In 2011, there were Latin names for 48,125 species of microbes, 346,392 species of plants and 1,091,761 species of animals. For microbes, there were 5,812 species of virus, 9,554 species of bacteria, 1,509 species of protophyte, and 31,250 species of protozoan, totaling 48,125. For plants, there were 33,500 species of algae, 53,600 species of fungus, 16,100 species of moss, 12,117 species of fern, 1,075 species of conifer, and 230,000 species of flower plant, totaling, 346,392. For animals there were 18,500 species of sponges, nettles and jellyfish, 130,300 species of worms, 128,650 species of shellfish, 760,000 species of insects, 32,000 species of fish, and 22,311 species of vertebrate animals (i.e. 10,075 species of amphibians, 7,034 species of reptiles, 9,702 species of birds, and 4,500 species of mammals), totaling 1,091,761.
