The Scientific Name of the Rocket Eating Tree

[K'Tesh]

There is a misconception about the Rocket Eating Tree... People forget about the entire order of the species...

Kingdom: Plantae
(unranked): Angiosperms
(unranked): Eudicots
(unranked): Pisusoffus
Order: Aggrivatus
Family: Hibranchius
Subfamily: Catchum
Tribe: aneatum
Genus: Rocketus
Species: Eatemupus
Subspecies: Kantclimus

Not to be confused with the common Kite Eating Tree.

The rare Plane Eating Tree

Or the endangered Bike Eating Tree

These species are to be avoided at all cost.

Dreaming of the tree eating rocket...

You need to work a Kantclimus in there.

Done.

I know how to fix those problem trees ..... cut them off at the knees and plant a nice shrub. lol , Jim

Just for your info, feel free to use or ignore

All families end in "idae" ex: hibranchidae

Superfamiles end in "idea" ex: loftyfoliagidea

Subfamiles end in "inae" ex: cantsupportmyweightinea

the phylogenetic trees go
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

If that helps fill in the 'unranked's, I did my job.

Correct but...

Plants use "Division" instead of "Phylum".

What exactly is a "domain"?? That's a new one since I last had biology in high school back in '88...

Guess it's something like the "BCE" nonsense now, or downranking Pluto from a planet, or renaming the K-T boundary (Cretaceous-Tertiary... they don't call the geologic age after the Mesozoic the "Tertiary" anymore... can't remember offhand what goofy name they call it now...)

Always gotta be changing something just for the sake of changing something...

If memory serves, it separate Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic life forms. Monera would be the only example of the former.

When I was a kid, there were only 2 Kingdoms: Plantae and Animalia although some spoke of "Protista". By the time I was an undergraduate, most texts used a 5 kingdom scheme adding Monera and Fungi to the three above.

Domain is the overview of life with subdomains Eukaria, Bacteria, and Prokarya. Each subdomain goes into kingdom, kingdoms go into phylums, etc...

Ah ok... Yeah, I was taught same as John Lee above... everything used to start off as either Animalia or Plantae... I know we had some discussions then about where exactly fungi fit in, since they elements of BOTH... and I guess that since they've been discovering more diverse life like extremophiles, stuff that doesn't need sunlight in its life cycle, etc. that they've taken another step back and started defining things in broader terms...

I knew that it goes kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, from least specific to most specific and defining what part of the family tree each species belongs in... animals, vertebrates, mammals, primates, chimpanzees... getting more specific with each further rung down the ladder...

Not particularly interested in biology, per se... I'm no fan of genetic engineering and all that... I'm more into paleontology, specifically dinosaurs and ancient megafauna, and such... about as far as my interest in biology goes, other than what's specific to my field of operation, that being agriculture... My other hobby besides rocketry and space history is planetary exploration... Reading a fascinating book about Titan right now...
