In the hierarchy of biological classification, genuscomes above species and below family.

The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g., Homo sapiens. -BLC

Most cultivars have arisen in cultivation but a few are special selections from the wild. Popular ornamental garden plants like roses, camellias, daffodils, rhododendrons, and azaleas are cultivars produced by careful breeding and selection for flower color and form.]]> 2016-09-12 16:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/isaacsonr/tifoo3spxoh9/wish/123205940 https://padlet.com/isaacsonr/tifoo3spxoh9/wish/123207097 In botanical nomenclature, a form (forma, plural formae) is one of the "secondary" taxonomic ranks, below that of variety, which in turn is below that of species; it is an infraspecific taxon. If more than three ranks are listed in describing a taxon, the "classification" is being specified, but only three parts make up the "name" of the taxon: a genus name, a specific epithet, and an infraspecific epithet. -BLC]]> 2016-09-12 16:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/isaacsonr/tifoo3spxoh9/wish/123207097 https://padlet.com/isaacsonr/tifoo3spxoh9/wish/123207675 Graft chimaera (frequently called 'graft hybrids') are cellular hybrids between representatives of two or more named genera. They are a rare phenomenon arising exclusively in cultivation where two species, frequently of two distinct genera, are grafted together.  -BLC]]> 2016-09-12 16:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/isaacsonr/tifoo3spxoh9/wish/123207675 https://padlet.com/isaacsonr/tifoo3spxoh9/wish/123208172 Vegetative reproduction (vegetative propagation, vegetative multiplication, vegetative cloning) is a form of asexual reproduction in plants. It is a process by which new organisms arise without production of seeds or spores. It can occur naturally or be induced by horticulturists. -BLC

The term is sometimes written with a subscript, as F1 hybrid.[2][3] Subsequent generations are called F2, F3, etc. -BLC
