WikiProject Tree of Life/Sample Taxoboxes

There are some '''Sample Taxoboxes''' taken from the Plant Kingdom. Taxoboxes from other Kingdoms should generally follow the same format (with Phylum replacing Division).

Where found.
= Text =
Whatever you want to say.
= Classification=
This is pretty much covered in the taxobox; if you decide to include it, add comments to the entries. However, for intermediate ranks (down to Family) a staggered listing up and down one full rank can be a powerful way to show how this group of organisms is related to others.

= Problems =
Here we can note deviations from what the writer has accepted as a standard. In Solanales I show two families that my source did not show as belonging here. One it placed in another order; the other was not even in its data base. (from Abbey Diaz Talk:Solanales)
= References =
Give long form (good for printing) of references here.

This box also shows a comment on the botany; on this level the info should not be included in the text, but the taxobox needs it.

Also note that both the genus name and species epithet are bolded. Since this taxobox if for the species, the genus is a link. If this species were monotypic, the genus would not be linked. For other boxes that cover multiple ranks, all relevant ranks should be bolded.
