Dear Mr. Rajdeo, You are a project fellow and hopefully a professional botanists thats why I am responding to this.
Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) is abbreviated as L. and not Linn.. Similarly, Carl Linnaeus (1741-1783) is cited as L.f. and not Linn.f. This is according to ICBN as well as Brummitt and Powel (1992). Though the name is same but the persons are different.
