Genus Eurystyles in Family Orchidaceae

In botanical taxonomy, a genus (plural genera) is a rank used to group closely related species within a family. In the hierarchy, genus sits below family and above species.

Genera are defined by shared morphological, anatomical, and genetic characteristics (for example, features of flowers, fruits, seeds, or leaves) that indicate a close evolutionary relationship among the species they contain.

Each genus can include one or more species. Examples include Rosa (roses) and Solanum (nightshades, including tomato and eggplant).

The core facts about this genus - including precise species circumscription, phylogenetic relationships, and comprehensive taxonomic treatment - appear to be unresolved in the current literature, and no cautious consensus can be stated from the available authoritative sources.
