- Genus: Rana. Species: Rana catesbeiana (Bullfrog). As you explore the website, you can see an organism's classification at the bottom of each Species Page. This way you can compare organisms to see which ones are in the same groups, and you can try to figure out why scientists put them together.ach Phylum is split into smaller groups called Classes, each Class is split into Orders, each Order is split into Families, each Family is split into Genera, and each Genus is split into Species. A Species is a single organism, not a group.

- The Class of true ferns was once named Polypodiopsida (now Filicopsida) and the Order Polypodiales contains most fern families. The basic fern structure is thus taxonomically defined by the Polypody, a once-divided or one-cut fern; the individual pinna are broadly connected at the base to the central stem, or rachis.The Polypody grows from a woody underground stem called a rhizome that extends horizontally along the ground.he basic fern structure is thus taxonomically defined by the Polypody, a once-divided or one-cut fern; the individual pinna are broadly connected at the base to the central stem, or rachis.

Moss Musings Mosses are referred to by their Latin names at the genus and species level (a binomial). The bryologist or scientist who first describes the genus or species gets to names it.There are instances, as with Bryoandersonia illecebra, in which the person naming the moss honored someone, in this case bryologist Lewis Anderson, but had to Latinize his name to fit conventions.he bryologist, on the other hand, finds the Greek and Latin terms in moss names perfectly descriptive of things such as the growth habit, leaf formation around the stem, leaf color, or shape of the sporophyte or its parts.

Description. One of the largest fern species, the ostrich fern can easily reach a height of 5 feet or more.Large fiddleheads emerge in spring as the fern emerges from dormancy. These will develop in to large, slightly scaly, sterile fronds that will persist through early fall.atteuccia struthiopteris, with its exotic, palm-like appearance, is a wonderful addition to any moist woodland area or shade garden. It tolerates most soil types, but it will do best in slightly acidic, moist to wet soil that is rich in organic matter.

- The plant kingdom is divided into two taxa: broyophytes (including mosses and liverworts) and vascular plants (plants with a vascular system of xylem and phloem). Vascular plants (sometimes called higher plants) are divided into two subgroups: seedless and seeded.cientific Names. Scientific names of plants are Latinized. When Linnaeus published the first books on classification, Latin was used in Western Europe as the language of science. Linnaeus continued this trend using Latin and Greek names.

"Foxtail Fern - Asparagus meyeri - 4"" Pot - Easy to Grow - Great Houseplant" The Foxtail fern resembles a foxtail and a fern but in fact is neither. The Foxtail fern is a member of the asparagus genus, and one of the so-called asparagus ferns. The fern, like the asparagus plant, is actually a member of the liliaceae, or lily family, and spreads by seeds and tubers rather than by spores. The Foxtail cultivar is called meyersii, and the fern sometimes goes by the names Meyers fern, or Asparagus Myersil fern. Most often however it is sod as a Foxtail fern. Product information
