I split these plants when I first got them, so now I have a number of separate plants.
All doing well so far!
Kingdom: Plantae
Subkingdom: Tracheobionta (vascular plants, as opposed to non-vascular plants like mosses, hornworts, and liverworts) (on a side note -- now I totally want to grow hornworts and examine their slime pores)
Phylum/division: Magnoliophyta (flowering plants, or angiosperms -- though there's some debate about how (and whether) to treat this as a division)
Class: Magnoliopsida (dicotyledons, i.e. plants whose seed has two embryonic leaves instead of one; again, there's some debate about how to define this class or whether it should exist at all)
Subclass: Rosidae
Order: Saxifragales (I love that name) under the new classification systems; until recently, these plants were placed in the order Rosales (a great order that has given the world roses, peaches, cannabis, and hops) under the old classification systems
Family: Crassulaceae (apparently all plants in this family are succulents)
Genus: Crassula
Species: C. ovata
(I need to work on learning more about the APG II system to see whether I should be giving up on listing all that stuff above.)
