That is because they are the same thing. They are obsolete taxa. Annularia is just the leaves, and calamites is the bark.

They're CONFUSING, it took me forever (duh) to figure that out.

Ouch. That's pretty embarrassing for whoever made up this list.

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.

I'm sorry but really? Wow.

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

LOL Probably true though!

Unfortunately, taking Latin never helps with anything, except for the destruction of your soul.

Alas, you see, the plural of genus is not geni, it is genera.
