Species
Definition:
(n.) Visible or sensible presentation; appearance; a sensible percept received by the imagination; an image.
(n.)

Thus, man is a species, under animal as a genus; and man, in its turn, may be regarded as a genus with respect to European, American, or the like, as species.

(n.) A public spectacle or exhibition.
(n.) A component part of compound medicine; a simple.
(n.) An officinal mixture or compound powder of any kind; esp., one used for making an aromatic tea or tisane; a tea mixture.
