Cultivated Plants
The ICN does not regulate the names of cultivated varieties of plants (cultivars), i.e. varieties of plants specifically created for use in agriculture or horticulture. Such names are regulated by the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP). A cultivar name may be attached to any scientific name at the genus level or below and so may be below the rank of species (and hence "infraspecific" in the widest sense of the term). For example, Pinus nigra 'Arnold Sentinel' is a cultivar of the species P. nigra which is particularly upright and is propagated vegetatively so that all plants of this cultivar have the same habit.

Famous quotes containing the words cultivated and/or plants:
“A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it’s a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself—or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind.... You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
“So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labor of each. For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 3:7-9.
