picture info	Genus Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

	Aa (plant) ''Aa'' is a genus of plants of the family Orchidaceae. Species in this genus can be found growing terrestrially in cold habitats near the snowline in the Andes and also in Costa Rica; they are usually found close to small streams. The elongated inflorescence grows from a basal rosette of leaves, terminating in a small white non-resupinate flower. This lip is fringed and hood-shaped. The flower gives off a pungent smell that attracts flies. This genus has often been included in the orchid genus '' Altensteinia''. The first scientific description of a species of this genus was made in 1815 by Karl Sigismund Kunth, naming it first ''Ophrys paleacea'' Kunth (1806)., and later ''Altensteinia paleacea''. In 1854 Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach separated ''Aa'' from ''Altensteinia'', to include two species ''Aa argyrolepis'' and ''Aa paleacea''. The genus name apparently was rendered by the author to always appear first in alphabetical listings. Another - disputed - explanation, is that H ...
