Andrea CesalpinoAndrea Cesalpino (Italy, 1519–
1603), who is often referred to as "the
first taxonomist". His magnum opus Demagnum opus De
PlantisPlantis came out in 1583, and described
over 1500 plant species. Two large plant
families that he first recognized are still in
use today: the Asteraceae and
Brassicaceae.

Linnaeus, as set forth in, as set forth in
hishis Systema Naturae

 In his Imperium Naturae, Linnaeus
established three kingdoms,
 Regnum Animale,
 Regnum Vegetabile
 Regnum Lapideum.

 ONLY Linnaeus could only base
his scheme on the structural
similarities of the different
organisms. The greatest change
was the widespread acceptance
of evolution as the mechanism
of biological diversity and
species formation, following
the 1859 publication of Charles
Darwin's On the Origin of
Species.

It then became generally understood that classifications ought to
reflect the phylogeny of organisms, their descent by evolution. This
led to evolutionary taxonomy,

 In the taxonomy of Linnaeus there are:
 Three kingdoms,
 Divided into classes,
 Into orders,
 Families,
 Genera (singular: genus),
 Species (singular: species),
 With an additional rank lower than species

 Medicinal properties of any
remedy is determined by the
chemical structure and
properties of the individual
chemical molecules they
contain.
 Because, it is individual drug
molecules that act upon
biological molecules, produce
inhibitions, molecular pathology
and associated symptoms.09/30/15 DrAnkitsrivastava Email:ankitsrivastav183@gmail.com 24

 During potentization, it is the individual drug molecules that
undergo molecular imprinting, and as such, it is the
individual molecular imprints that act as therapeutic agents.
In the absence of this molecular perspective of our
medicinal substances, we fall prey to all sorts of unscientific
theories that misguide us gravely.

 Let us consider a particular remedy belonging to
Animal kingdom. The molecular composition as
well as chemical and medicinal properties of the
particular drug sample will be decided by various
factors.

 Animal drugs act rapidly and energetically.
 Animal drugs are more distructive of organic tissue than the plants and
minerals.
 Animal poisons are apt to affect the mind especially emotions.
 Many of the animal poisons are distinguished by the violence and
intensity of their action.
