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:
“These are not the artificial forests of an English king,—a royal preserve merely. Here prevail no forest laws but those of nature. The aborigines have never been dispossessed, nor nature disforested.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The further our civilization advances upon its present lines so much the cheaper sort of thing does “fame” become, especially of the literary sort. This species of “fame” a waggish acquaintance says can be manufactured to order, and sometimes is so manufactured.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
