the gravestone rests Carl von Linné, 1707-1778, professor of
medicine and botany at Uppsala University. Linné categorized plants
and animals, and compiled the system of latin generic / species naming
which is used over the whole world today. Linné's wife Sara
Elisabeth Morća and their son Carl von Linné the younger are also
buried here.
In the
chapel next to the Chapel of Remembrance stands a Linné monument
executed in porphyry, with a bronze portrait medal by Tobias Sergel.
