I'm not sure what you mean but if you're asking how many ranks there are it depends on what kind of classification you're talking about. The traditional, utilitarian classification was only said to be phylogenetic and had 3 levels above species: family, order, and class With modern, truly phylogenetic (cladistic) classification based on classical (morphology, chemistry, physiology) and molecular evidence there are many--above order there might be 8, but it varies according to the analysis/study, and below that I don't know. And most of the levels have not been given names so they are largely unranked. Also, whisk ferns and horsetails are now part of the fern clade.
