The Wikipedia article on baramins includes this quote:

"The cognita are not based on explicit or implicit comparisons of
characters or biometric distance measures but on the gestalt of the
plants and the classification response it elicits in humans."

This is what I meant by baramin. It's a classification based on human
intuition rather than scientific fact.
