# Linnaeus travels Öland and Gotland for useful plants after taking the Uppsala chair

Date: 1741

## The fact

In 1741, newly appointed at Uppsala, [Carl Linnaeus](/people/carl-linnaeus) travelled Öland and Gotland to report plants, minerals, and husbandry for Swedish use. Alum, fodder, and medicinal plants sat in the notes. It is a resource inventory, not a racial table.

## Context

The chair and the journey are the same summer’s two instruments: office and field. Local clergy and skippers shared the logistics. Sharing does not erase Linnaeus. Gotland limestone and Öland steppe plants entered later floras. Do not treat later World Heritage agriculture on Öland as this 1741 ride.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## Evidence and sources

KVA at https://www.kva.se/en/the-academy/history/ is the official useful-science frame for such provincial inventories. Linnean Society at https://www.linnean.org/learning/who-was-linnaeus independently treats the Swedish tours as career instruments.

## Significance

Industrial-resource path, modest weight. High confidence on 1741 island travel.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Island useful-plants are not the Uppsala appointment decree. Mixed effects of Linnaeus travels Öland and Gotland for useful plants after taking the Uppsala chair are separate paths.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Linnaeus travelled Öland and Gotland in 1741. Not established: a unique alum-output series from the report. Contribution is recorded as He travelled and published island reports. The state wanted alum, plants, and livestock notes. Complex. The impact note is Island surveys of useful species are an industrial-resource path, modest weight. The dated heading stays Linnaeus travels Öland and Gotland for useful plants after taking the Uppsala chair on 1741-06-15, not a later statue, UNESCO listing, or school film. Printers, unnamed clerks, and later editors may appear in the same file without becoming this instrument. Later competitions, monuments, and adaptations are refused as extra lifetime acts of this person on this date.

Shared responsibility is part of Linnaeus travels Öland and Gotland for useful plants after taking the Uppsala chair. Naming Carl Linnaeus does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1741-06-15 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
