The genus-rank taxa of the plant kingdom, following the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's APG IV classification that ITIS, GBIF and the Catalogue of Life all use for flowering plants. Covers every genus-rank taxon entity in this atlas identified by its own sourced description as a plant genus, among them the wattles of Acacia, the peanuts and relatives of Arachis, the milkvetches of Astragalus, the orchids of Dendrobium, and the saguaro's own genus of cactus, Carnegiea. Excludes the fungal genera, which belong to an entirely separate kingdom and would be grouped under Fungus Genera instead.
