monogeneric
Monogeneric is a taxonomic term used to describe a higher taxon that contains only a single genus. The term can apply at various ranks, including families, subfamilies, or orders, but is most commonly used for families. The word combines the Greek prefixes monos “one” and genos “kind” or “genus.”
In practice, a monogeneric taxon means that all of its subordinate groups are organized under one genus.
Examples and implications: The family Ginkgoaceae is often described as monogeneric, containing only the genus Ginkgo.
Taxonomy and revisions: Monogeneric taxa can reflect a particular scientific view or historical arrangement. Advances in
