Excerpt from Sylvan Ontario: A Guide to Our Native Trees and Shrubs IN the very numerous forms of life with which we meet we cannot help noticing that there are all degrees of likeness and difference. We believe that all these forms are in some sense related to each other, and the closer the similarity the closer we consider this relation to be. When such likeness is as exact as we are accustomed to find in Nature, we say that the forms compared are of the. Same kind or Species, and we mark them by the same name, noticing that the individuals reproduced from these continue equally similar to each other and to the parent forms. A number of species plainly related to each other, yet not the same, form a Genus, the plural of this 'latin word being Genera. Thus all our Maples belong to one Genus, though there are five or six species and we have at least a dozen distinct kinds of Willows, all belonging to the same group or Genus in the same way. Similar Genera again are grouped into Families, or Orders, and these again into higher and higher classes, upon which at present we need not dwell.
