But why would you need _Panangiospermae_ as a taxon when _Pan-Angiosp= ermae_ would already exist? =20 > What about competition between different affixes with different= =20 > definitions?

As I understand it, _Corono-Synapsida_ would be given priority (or pe= rhaps primacy or preference would be better terms here) over _Corono-Therap= sida_, _Corono-Cynodontia_, etc. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D> T.
