Answer:

The botanical name of any genus ending with 'a' is 4. feminine

Explanation:

  • The naming of plants and their identification are very important aspects of taxonomy.
  • This is important to have rules for naming the species using binomial nomenclature so that everyone does it in a uniform way to create brief and unique names which can be used and understood worldwide.
  • Because of this reason, Carolus Linnaeus strongly put forward the binomial naming in his book 'Species Plantarum'.
  • According to Article 20 of the Nomenclature rules, the generic name is a uninominal singular word treated as a noun. The initial letter of the genus is always a capital letter.
  • The genus may be masculine, neuter, or feminine form when the generic name ends with -us, and -um,-a,-is respectively as the genus name is derived from different sources like classical Latin or Greek names given to plants. And unlike English, nouns are masculine, feminine, or neuter.
  • The generic names that end in -a, -ago, -ix, -odes, -oides are usually feminine.

Hence option 4. feminine is the correct option.
