Genus
(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.
(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.

1. (logic) 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.
2. (biol.) 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.
note: thus in the animal kingdom the lion, leopard, tiger, cat, and panther are species of the cat kind or genus, while in the vegetable kingdom all the species of oak form a single genus. some genera are represented by a multitude of species, as solanum (nightshade) and carex (sedge), others by few, and some by only one known species.

GENUS AND SPECIES
[L:102] For Kant, concepts are higher "so far as they have other concepts under them, which in relation to them are called lower concepts". Genus and species is defined in terms of this relation between concepts: "the higher concept in regard to its lower concept is called genus, the lower in respect of its higher, species".

Genus Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
| Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia |
Genus
A genus (plural: genera) is part of the Latinized name for an organism. It is a name which reflects the classification of the organism by grouping it with other closely similar organisms.
A genus is a category name that is given to every species in a group of species which are closely related to one another. Ideally the same generic name is given to species which are all descended from a common ancestor. In other words, a genus is a low-level taxonomic unit, used in the classification of living and fossil organisms.
