The textbook Théorie élémentaire de la botanique published 1813 presenting natural method of classification and coining term taxonomy authored by Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle. Linnaeus authored Systema Naturae 1735 and Species Plantarum 1753 establishing binomial system, Bentham and Hooker published Genera Plantarum three volumes classifying families. De Candolle's work synthesized comparative morphology including symmetry and fusion characters and suggested early natural arrangement rivaling artificial sexual system. Historical recognition of authorship explains progression from artificial to natural classification epoch, influencing subsequent systems by Lindley and Bentham Hooker building upon principles of affinity and subordination of characters.
