Cultivar
A cultivar is a cultivated
plant that has been selected and given a unique name because it has desirable characteristics (decorative or useful) that distinguish it from otherwise similar plants of the same species. When
propagated it retains those characteristics.The naming of a cultivar should conform to the
International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (the
ICNCP, commonly known as the "Cultivated Plant Code"). For this, it must be distinct from other cultivars and it must be possible to
propagate it reliably, in the manner prescribed for that particular cultivar.
