i have writers block and im a procrastinator and waited till last minute to do a bio project on taxonomy :[

=[edit]

What about superclasses -- are they obsoleted? ~~

No, they are available for use by a taxonomist. They are just not explicitly mentioned in the ICBN as are unnumbered other ranks. Brya 17:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Section" seems special, deserves its own explanation?[edit]

Section (botany) redirects here. It's not mentioned in this page. Furthermore it's not an analogue to the concept of "rank" that's described here. A section isn't a subfamily, because subfamilies contain distinct genera. But sections are groups of species within a genus (see fagaceae and nothofagaceae). So a section isn't a rank at all, at least not in all cases. 68.123.141.240 18:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Basically I'm asking that some botanically competent person create an article at Section (botany) and eliminate this unhelpful redirect. 68.123.141.240 18:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
