Summary
In the preceding chapters we discussed the classification and relationships of a few animals and plants. We discussed these in relation to what can be referred to as derivative cladograms sensu Nelson: ‘a graphic representation of a hierarchical classification’ (Nelson 1979, p. 5; see Chapter 7). In some we provided a written classification. For the box jellyfish Malo kingi (see Chapter 2), for example, an indented written classification, with ranks, would look something like this
