Enum Rank

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Rank>
    @Deprecated
public enum Rank
extends Enum<Rank>
    Deprecated.
    An ordered taxonomic rank enumeration with the most frequently used values. Several static methods, lists, sets and maps are provided to help with ordering and lookup from strings. Deprecated. Please use the name parser enum instead. https://github.com/gbif/name-parser/blob/master/name-parser-api/src/main/java/org/gbif/nameparser/api/Rank.java

      • SPECIES_AGGREGATE

        public static final Rank SPECIES_AGGREGATE
        Deprecated.
        A loosely defined group of species. Zoology: Aggregate - a group of species, other than a subgenus, within a genus. An aggregate may be denoted by a group name interpolated in parentheses. The Berlin/MoreTax model notes: [these] aren't taxonomic ranks but cirumscriptions because on the one hand they are necessary for the concatenation of the fullname and on the other hand they are necessary for distinguishing the aggregate or species group from the microspecies.

      • SPECIES

        public static final Rank SPECIES
        Deprecated.

      • INFRASPECIFIC_NAME

        public static final Rank INFRASPECIFIC_NAME
        Deprecated.

      • GREX

        public static final Rank GREX
        Deprecated.
        The term grex has been coined to expand botanical nomenclature to describe hybrids of orchids. Grex names are one of the three categories of plant names governed by the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants Within a grex the Groups category can be used to refer to plants by their shared characteristics (rather than by their parentage), and individual orchid plants can be selected (and propagated) and named as cultivars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grex_(horticulture)

      • CULTIVAR_GROUP

        public static final Rank CULTIVAR_GROUP
        Deprecated.
        Rank in use from the code for cultivated plants. It does not use a classic rank marker but indicated the Group rank after the actual groups name For example Rhododendron boothii Mishmiense Group or Primula Border Auricula Group Sometimes authors also used the words "sort", "type", "selections" or "hybrids" instead of Group which is not legal according to the code.

      • CONVARIETY

        public static final Rank CONVARIETY
        Deprecated.
        A group of cultivars. These can be roughly comparable to cultivar groups, but convarieties, unlike cultivar groups, do not necessarily contain named varieties, and convarieties are members of traditional "Linnaean" ranks. The ICNCP replaced this term with the term cultivar-group, and convarieties should not be used in modern cultivated plant taxonomy. From Spooner et al., Horticultural Reviews 28 (2003): 1-60
