What is a Series (pl. Series)?
In botanical taxonomy, a series is a taxonomic rank that is used to group related species within a subsection or section. The Series rank is placed below the Subsection rank and above the Species rank in the hierarchy of taxonomic ranks.
Series are used to group together species of plants that share certain characteristics and are more closely related to one another than to species in other series within the same subsection or section.
Series are further divided into smaller taxonomic ranks, such as Subseries and Species Groups, based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. Botanists use these classifications to study and better understand the relationships between different groups of plants.
