variety. An identifiable strain within a species, usually referring to a strain which arises in nature as opposed to a cultivar which is specifically bred for particular properties; sometimes used synonymously with cultivar.
variety - a group of individuals within a species that differs in certain characters from other groups of the species, e.g. plants in a species that differ in form, color, fruit size, fruit flavor, etc. (Glossary of PM). Can occur naturally.
