Not only plants

[edit]

I am alarmed at the attachment of this article apparently only to WikiProject Plants; the rank applies in animal taxonomy also, as therefore should the article given its inclusive title.

Common suffixes?

[edit]

Even though the ICZN does not regulate the formation of Order names, would it be useful to include a description of how most of them are formed, and also a list of suffixes commonly used? For example, -ia, -acea, -idea, etc. Myrddin_Wyllt 11/4/2012
