Donna's Diary - by Donna Myhrer
"Classification"

I thought I would try something different again this month. Remember “King Philip Came Over From German Shores”? If you don’t recall that one from high school biology, the first letter of each word gives you the order of classification in biology: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. I will give you the family, genus, and species (if assigned one) of a well-known animal or plant (ten of each). All you have to do is decide what the common name is. (Answers are here)

1. Family: Sciuridae. Tamiasciurus hudsonicus.
2. Family: Anacardiaceae. Rhus radicans.
3. Family: Labiatae. Mentha piperita.
4. Family: Camelidae. Lama glama.
5. Family: Danaidae. Danaus plexippus.
6. Family: Ranunculaceae. Ranunculus acris.
7. Family: Columbidae. Streptopelia turtur.
8. (No family listed) Amoeba proteus.
9. Family: Phalangeridae. Phascolarctos cinereus.
10. Family: Polypodiaceae. (Genus) Adiantum.
11. Family: Gramineae. (Genus) Triticum.
12. Family: Gramineae. Poa pratensis.
13. Family: Bovidae. Ovis aries.
14. Family: Rhinotermnintidae. Reticulitermes flavides.
15. Family: Oleaceae. Syrinda vulgaris.
16. Family: Pinaceae. Pinus ponderosa.
17. Family: Labiatae. Rosmarinus officinalis.
18. Family: Cathartidae. Cathartes aura.
19. Family: Percidae. Stizostedion vitreum.
20. Family: Compositae. Helianthus annuus.
