Die systematische Einreihung derselben ist schwierig und unsicher.
Their systematic ranking is difficult and uncertain.
systematic = systematische It is clear from the context that this term is used in the specific sense of pertaining to the discipline of systematics. The name “systematics” (Systematik) had wide currency already; see, e.g., Carl Friedrich Gärtner, Versuche und Beobachtungen über die Bastarderzeugung im Pflanzenreich (Stuttgart: Hering, 1849), p. 139.
ranking = Einreihung Both Bateson and Sherwood have “classification”. Einreihung derives from the verb einreihen, which literally means to place something within a linear order or series. The discussion in the following sentences makes clear that Mendel has the Linnaean hierarchy of taxonomic ranks in mind, which is why we chose “ranking” for Einreihung. So the problem Mendel is developing in the following is not how to classify, or distinguish between, pea varieties, but whether it is justified to address them as species. Gärtner uses the exact same term when discussing the problem and devotes a whole chapter to it. Given Mendel’s position on the question, it is telling that he did not annotate this chapter; see Carl Friedrich Gärtner, Versuche und Beobachtungen über die Bastarderzeugung im Pflanzenreich (Stuttgart: Hering, 1849), Mendel Museum, Collection of the Augustinian Abbey, p. 255, 604, 600–606 (ch. XXXVI).
Their = derselben The demonstrative pronoun can only refer to “sorts” (Sorten) in the previous paragraph.
