Cultivar

A cultivated variety of a species.


A horticultural variety originating from a cultivated plant, possessing interesting or important characters such as color, smell, taste, or disease resistance that make it worthy of distinction through naming.


Horticultural term for a cultivated variety of plant that is distinct and is uniform and stable in its characteristics when propagated.


A plant variety that has been produced in cultivation through breeding and selection.


A variety or strain of cannabis originating in and persistent under cultivation.


A variety of plant which has arisen as the result of cultivation, that is, not naturally, usually by means of hybridization. It may be propagated by any suitable means, and the rules of botany state that it must not be named in Latin but should be given in Roman type with single quotes, for example ‘Queen Elizabeth’, Model of Perfection’. Cultivars that arose before these rulings and were given Latin names are treated similarly, giving rise to such names as Acer palmatum ‘Dissectum Atropurpureum’.


A cultivated plant variety with one or more distinct differences from the species, such as flower color, leaf variegation or disease resistance.


A variety of plant which has arisen or been selected in the course of cultivation, commonly as the result of hybridization. It may be propagated by any means that preserves its distinctive character, and the Code of Nomenclature states that it must not be named in Latin but should be given in Roman type with single quotes, for example, ‘Iceberg’, ‘Jeanne d’Arc’. Cultivars that arose before this ruling and were given Latin names are treated similarly, giving rise to such names as Acer palmatum ‘Dissectum Atropurpureum’. Most cultivars of woody or long- lived plants represent single clones and are propagated from cuttings, divisions or grafts, but cultivars of annuals may be true-breeding lines, FI hybrids, or mixed-color strains and are grown from seed. A cultivar name may follow a species name if derived from that species alone, or follow directly after the genus name if of unknown or hybrid origin.


A variety of a plant that was produced from a natural species and is maintained by cultivation.


A plant produced or selected from a natural species, its distinctive characteristics maintained by cultivation.


A group of cultured individuals, characterized by a variety of traits such as morphological, physiological, cytological, or chemical, that are relevant to agriculture, forestry, or horticulture. These individuals maintain their distinctive features when reproduced either sexually or asexually.


A variation of a species that has been chosen or cultivated by gardeners. Cultivars are sometimes informally referred to as ‘varieties.’
