What's the difference between genus and hepatica?

Genus


Definition:

  • (n.) A class of objects divided into several subordinate species; a class more extensive than a species; a precisely defined and exactly divided class; one of the five predicable conceptions, or sorts of terms.
  • (n.) An assemblage of species, having so many fundamental points of structure in common, that in the judgment of competent scientists, they may receive a common substantive name. A genus is not necessarily the lowest definable group of species, for it may often be divided into several subgenera. In proportion as its definition is exact, it is natural genus; if its definition can not be made clear, it is more or less an artificial genus.

Hepatica


Definition:

  • (n.) A genus of pretty spring flowers closely related to Anemone; squirrel cup.

Example Sentences:

  • (10) The necessity of host death for transmission is a strongly destabilizing factor, suggesting that C. hepatica cannot regulate most populations stably in the absence of strong resource limitation, although it has the potential to depress mouse populations below infection-free levels.
