Fungi is one of the taxon"s that needs to be discovered. Draba cayoettei s new species that was found that is similar to something before and therefore made a name for it. Several new north american carex species to be named following genetic barcode study. Taxa is also important; you can make prediction (bartick a snake in australia) Genus: carex: high diversity of distributional patterns, has a tropical line diversity, can live in marsh, alpine prairies, temperature forests and even deserts and tropical diversity, so its found everywhere except for the arctic. Revising classification of genera related to carex: 3. Scientific process: classification (hypothesis) then congruence (test) then new classification (results) Useful sources of data: morphology (position, colourm texture, shape, size, embryology (small plant in seed, anatomy, dna based phylogenetic analyses. Distribution of scripus: found in north america mostly, they adapt well in water.
