Hierarchical or Flat
Checklist reports
can also be
printed in two
different fashions:
hierarchical or
flat. Hierarchical
reports begin with
the supra-ranks of
a given name and
proceed down the
hierarchy to a
particular level.
For example a
hierarchical
report for the
genus Lavandula
would show
Magnoliophyta >
Rosopsida >
Lamiales >
Lamiaceae (and
the intermediate
sub-taxa) before
listing the species
of the genus.
Flat reports list
the named
members of a
rank without
including any
supra-ranks. This
type of report can
be useful in
preparing a list of
all family names,
or all names of
some other rank.
A combination
report can also be
created. These
show all names of
a given rank and
further include
