genus, in taxonomy: see classificationclassification,
in biology, the systematic categorization of organisms into a coherent scheme. The original purpose of biological classification, or systematics, was to organize the vast number of known plants and animals into categories that could be named, remembered, and

For example, various cat species (European wildcat, jungle cat, leopard cat) are united in the genus Felis. Various pine species (Scotch pine, Siberian pine) form the genus Pinus. The scientific name of a genus is designated by a single Latin word. Genera may consist of many species. For example, some insect and plant genera contain hundreds or thousands of species. Some genera comprise only one or a few species. Genera having only one species, such as Desmana or Welwitschia, are called monotypic. Genera with several species are often divided into subgenera, which unite especially closely related species. Each genus belongs to a family, but between these two taxonomic categories there are often intermediate ones. For example, tribes are grouped in subfamilies, which in turn are grouped in families. In paleobotany there also are organ genera and formal genera. V. G. GEPTNER and M. E. KIRPICHNIKOV genus[′jē·nəs] (mathematics) An integer associated to a surface which measures the number of holes in the surface.

genus [je´nus] (pl. gen´era) (L.) a taxonomic category (taxon) subordinate to a tribe (or subtribe) and superior to a species (or subgenus).ge·nus, pl. gen·er·a (jēnŭs, jen'ĕr-ă), A genus name begins with a capital letter and is printed in italic type: Escherichia, Helicobacter, Staphylococcus. In this form it is never pluralized. When used as a common noun, a genus name begins with a lowercase letter, is not italicized, and may form a plural: chlamydia, staphylococci. A genus name may be abbreviated with or without a period (E. coli, H. pylori, S aureus) only when the meaning is clear from the context.In natural history classification, the taxonomic level of division between the family, or tribe, and the species; a group of species alike in the broad features of their organization but different in detail, and incapable of fertile mating. [L. birth, descent] genus (jē′nəs)n. pl. genera (jĕn′ər-ə) 1. Biology A taxonomic category ranking below a family and above a species and designating a group of species that are presumed to be closely related and usually exhibit similar characteristics. In a scientific name, the genus name is capitalized and italicized, for example,Ovis for sheep and related animals.2. Logic A class of objects divided into subordinate species having certain common attributes.3. A class, group, or kind with common attributes.genus Taxonomy A taxonomic grouping of one or several species which is subordinate to a family, tribe or subtribe and superior to a species. Cf Family, Species, Trait, Tribe. ge·nus, pl. genera (jē'nŭs, jen'ĕr-ă) In natural history classification, the taxonomic level of division between the family, or tribe, and the species; a group of species alike in the broad features of their organization but different in detail, and incapable of fertile mating. [L. birth, descent]genus The taxonomic category above species and below family. The generic name, in the Linnaean classification, is always written with a capital letter, the specific name in lower case. Thus, in Homo sapiens , Homo is the genus and sapiens the specific name.genus a TAXON immediately above that of a SPECIES and containing usually a group of closely related species. The name of a genus (generic name) is written or printed with an initial capital letter and in BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE precedes the specific name, which invariably has a small initial letter.Genus
GENUS. It denotes the number of beings, or objects, which agree in certain general properties, common to them all, so that genus is, in fact, only an abstract idea, expressed by some general name or term; or rather a name or term, to signify what is called au abstract idea. Thus, goods is the generic name, and includes, generally, all personal property; but this word may be restrained, particularly in bequests to such goods as are of the same kind as those previously enumerated.
