GENUS

Genus is the second least level of taxa. It comprises a group of similar species Or we say that the genera are aggregates(collection) of closely related species.
e.g.-Solanum tuberosum     - potato
       Solanum lycopersicum - tomato
       Solanum melongena     - brinjal
all are of similar genera but they are different things because they have different species.

                                                                                                                                   page-15
