Artificial Species and Mutants
Russian botanists have given botanical names to hybrids developed during genetical experiments. As these only occur in the laboratory environment, it is questionable whether botanical names (rather than lab. numbers) are justified. Botanical names have also been given to rare mutant forms. Examples include:
- Triticum × borisovii Zhebrak - (T. aestivum × T. timopheevi)
- Triticum × fungicidum Zhuk. - Hexaploid, artificial cross (T. carthlicum × T. timopheevi)
- Triticum jakubzineri Udaczin & Schachm.
- Triticum militinae Zhuk. & Migush. - mutant form of T. timopheevi.
- Triticum petropavlovskyi Udaczin & Migush.
- Triticum sinskajae A.A.Filatenko & U.K.Kurkiev - mutant, free-threshing form of T. monococcum.
- Triticum × timococcum Kostov
- Triticum timonovum Heslot - Hexaploid, artificial cross.
- Triticum zhukovskyi Menabde & Ericzjan (T. timopheevi × T. monococcum)

Famous quotes containing the words artificial and/or species:
“When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs ... I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb’s bleat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As kings are begotten and born like other men, it is to be presumed that they are of the human species; and perhaps, had they the same education, they might prove like other men. But, flattered from their cradles, their hearts are corrupted, and their heads are turned, so that they seem to be a species by themselves.... Flattery cannot be too strong for them; drunk with it from their infancy, like old drinkers, they require dreams.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
