Why Linné if you want to spell his name the way he did?  Most of his taxa
date from the 10th edition when he was still Linnaei (= Linnaeus).  I think
the term "Linnaean" is in much more frequent usage than "Linnean" which I
believe to have been used only by the dictatorial Dr. Smith.

Also, when writing "Linnaeus" one doesn't have to worry about an accent on
the "e", a feature not used in English.
