Jussieu's "natural" system of classification soon replaced the artificial sexual one of Linnaeus.{{sfn|Isely|1994}} The system of suprageneric nomenclature in botany is officially dated to 4 Aug 1789 with the publication of the ''Genera Plantarum'' (Gen. Pl.).{{sfn|Meerow et al.|2007}} The ''Genera plantarum'' was far-reaching in its impact; many of the present-day plant [[Family (biology)|families]] are still attributed to Jussieu. Morton's 1981 ''History of botanical science'' counts 76 of Jussieu's families conserved in the [[ICBN]], versus just 11 for Linnaeus, for instance. Writing of the natural system, [[Sydney Howard Vines]] remarked: {{blockquote|"The glory of this crowning achievement belongs to Jussieu: he was the capable man who appeared precisely at the psychological moment, and it is the men that so appear who have made, and will continue to make, all the great generalisations of science."{{sfn|Vines|1913}}}}

De Jussieu and his family have been commemorated by a number of images, including a bust and medallion by [[David d'Angers]] (Pierre-Jean David), upon his death. A statue of Jussieu, commissioned for 10,000&nbsp;[[French franc|Fr]] by [[Jean-François Legendre-Héral]] in 1842, stands in the Galerie de Botanique of the Jardin des Plantes. Another, by [[Gustave Deloye|Jean-Baptiste Gustave Deloye]] is on the [[balustrade]] of the [[Natural History Museum, Vienna]] (facing [[Maria-Theresien-Platz]]).{{sfn|van der Krogt|van der Krogt|2021}} The Jussieu botanical dynasty is commemorated in the neighbourhood of the Jardin des Plantes by the Place Jussieu, (Quartier Saint-Victor, [[5th arrondissement of Paris|5th arrondissement]]) Rue Jussieu, the [[Jussieu (Paris Métro)|Jussieu]] metro station and the [[Jussieu Campus|Jussieu]] science campus of the University of Paris.{{efn|Place Jussieu: Created in 1838 as Place Saint-Victor, and renamed in 1867, between Rue Jussieu and Rue Linné, thus commemorating two botanists, adjacent to the Jussieu campus{{sfn|Lazare|Lazare|1855|p=456}}{{sfn|Paris 1900|2005}}}} The Jussieu family are also commemorated by street names in [[Marseille]] and [[Lyon]], their family home. The [[Jussieu Peninsula]] in South Australia is also named after Antoine Laurent Jussieu, as is an [[asteroid]].
