Particular sort of organism (7)

I believe the answer is:

species

(Other definitions for species that I've seen before include "Taxonomic group whose members can interbreed" , "Taxonomic grouping" , "Taxonomic group capable of interbreeding" , "Living group; kind" , "Group of organisms" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
