Note
One spelling does two jobs. Standing alone it is the simple past (she classed it with the ferns); after have or be it is the participle of perfects and passives (has classed, was classed). The passive names the category with as or among: classed as suitable, classed among the flowering plants. The intransitive use already means 'to be grouped', so it takes no passive of its own.
