Classification
Nouns denoting plants.
Examples
- Melanthiaceae includes genera like Veratrum that produce highly toxic alkaloids.
- Botanists studying Melanthiaceae examine their plant samples to distinguish features such as anthers, petals, and flower clusters.
- This proposed family is grouped as a separate category and typically incorporates other specific varieties in more up-to-date, fine-tuned taxonomy rather than broadly combining these members as prior attempts might be organized, while noting older common acceptance resides Melanthiaceae sometimes treated still generally into its sister-classified categories often clumping for members known belonging - often formerly defined via plant wider familial prior commonly but at many as at differing terms among ranks naming name schemes accepted families currently – broadly denoting flowers various mostly especially named.
