In the scientific name Mangifera indica Linn., what does 'Linn.' represent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It denotes the author associated with establishing the name

Correct answer: B. In botanical scientific names, an author citation may be added after the binomial. ‘Linn.’ is the standard abbreviation for Carl Linnaeus, the botanist associated with describing and establishing the name Mangifera indica in botanical nomenclature. It is not part of the genus or species epithet itself; it identifies the author connected with the published name. A is wrong because the abbreviation is a person’s author citation, even though scientific names traditionally use Latinized forms. C is wrong because a subspecies would be shown by an additional name, not by ‘Linn.’ D is wrong because an author abbreviation is not a date. Memory cue: a short name after a plant’s binomial often tells “who named or published it,” not when it was named.
