| Still the same, eg:

| Kingdom Plantae
| Division Magnoliophyta
| Class Magnoliopsida
| Order Magnoliales
| Family Magnoliaceae
| Genus Magnolia
| Species Magnolia virginiana

| There are a few 'subs' and 'supers' which are available, eg sub-order

Plus a few things above Kingdom for people interested in those levels,
but I am not sure if that have agreed names yet. Some unicellular
organisms classified as plants in 1930 aren't considered plants today.

And, of course, Race and Variety are sometimes used for subdivisions
of Species for specialist purposes - including horticulture! I don't
think that this has changed much since 1930.
