Constant to set up a table of numerical values corresponding
to 'Linnaean' ranks, with upper ranks having higher values. In a valid
taxonomic hierarchy, a lower rank should never have a higher value than a
higher rank. The actual numerical values are arbitrary so long as they are
ordered.
The ranks should be a subset of those in Template:Anglicise ranks.
