The plant kingdom's traditional equivalent of phylum, the rank botanical nomenclature has long used at this level: Magnoliophyta's flowering plants, Pinophyta's conifers, Bryophyta's mosses. Kept separate from Phylum because the two ranks sit at the same taxonomic level under different naming traditions rather than one containing the other.
