The genus name is a proper noun and is always capitalized, i.e., Piper. It is Latinized and usually written in italics or underlined.A group of similar species; the taxonomic rank below family and above species.A group of similar and related species, usually all more closely related to each other than any of the species is to a member of another genus.A grouping of species in the same family with important features of flower, fruit, and sometimes vegetative characters in common.A group of species which have sufficient in common to be classed as closely related; the name is always Latin. For example, roses are members of the genus Rosa, and both the smoking and ornamental tobaccos are of the genus Nicotiana.A group of related species, such as the genus Solidago, encompassing the goldenrods.In biology, a group of closely related species clearly marked off from other groups.A category of related living organisms.A category of biological classification between the species and family levels; the first word in a Latin name indicates the genus.The next major unit of plant classification above species—thus a group of species with many features in common may be grouped together and named as a genus. The name given to a genus is of Latin form (or Latinised Greek). A genus name can stand on its own, referring then to all its members, but a species name must always consist of 2 words, the first being the genus name. All roses belong to the genus Rosa, which consists of about 150 species including Rosa canina and Rosa rugosa.A category used in the classification of animals and plants. A genus consists of several closely related and similar species; for example the genus canis includes the dog, wolf, and jackal.In taxonomy, the classification between the family and the species.A biological classification made up of closely related but distinct species and given a common name. The genus is denoted by the first word in the botanical name.A unit of biological classification made up of closely related but distinct species and given a common name; genera are grouped into families. The genus is denoted by the first word in the scientific name.
