The inspiration for the design has been Linnaeus' own books, such as Systema Naturae and the Linnaean Herbarium. The latter publication originates from Linnaeus's studies in Småland, preserved today at Växjö Town Library. The symbol is made up of a stylized tree. The original is a drawing by Linnaeus from his book of herbs and plants.
