That is because they are the same thing. They are obsolete taxa. Annularia is just the leaves, and calamites is the bark.courage7856 wrote:Plants are okay, but in my opinion, there aren't enough differences between Annularia and Calamites.

Re: Fossils
Because they were classified as two different genera until it was discovered that they are the same organism. The list kept that probably so they could ask a question like "What do the two have in common?" or something dumb like that.
2009 events:
Fossils: 1st @ reg. 3rd @ states (stupid dinosaurs...) 5th @ nats.
Dynamic: 1st @ reg. 19thish @ states, 18th @ nats
Herpetology (NOT the study of herpes): NA
Enviro Chem: 39th @ states =(
Cell Bio: 9th @ reg. 18th @ nats
Remote: 6th @ states 3rd @ Nats
Ecology: 5th @ Nats

Re: Fossils
By putting more items on the list, it makes S.O. seem more important.

Unfortunately, taking Latin never helps with anything, except for the destruction of your soul.dudeincolorado wrote:Wait. Then why are they in different geni? :O latin did come in handy!
Alas, you see, the plural of genus is not geni, it is genera.
