Definition of genus
Thanks for using this online dictionary, we have been helping millions of people improve their use of the english language with its free online services. English definition of genus is as below...
Genus (n.) An
assemblage
of
species,
having
so many
fundamental
points
of
structure
in
common,
that in the
judgment
of
competent
scientists,
they may
receive
a
common
substantive
name. A genus is not
necessarily
the
lowest
definable
group of
species,
for it may often be
divided
into
several
subgenera.
In
proportion
as its
definition
is
exact,
it is
natural
genus;
if its
definition
can not be made
clear,
it is more or less an
artificial
genus..
