Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Cultivar infobox
This article describes how to add a Cultivar Infobox to an article on a cultivar, or cultivated variety of plant. Use this infobox only when the cultivar deserves its own article, separate from the article on the species from which it was developed.
For articles on biological species, use a taxobox instead; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/taxobox usage for details. For articles on animal breeds, use the appropriate breed template instead; see for example Wikipedia:WikiProject Dog breeds and Wikipedia:WikiProject Horse breeds.
Quick start
editHybrid cultivar
edit{{Infobox cultivar | name = | image = IIH.png | image_width = 250px | image_caption = | hybrid = | cultivar = | origin = }}
Non-hybrid cultivar
edit{{Infobox cultivar | name = | image = IIH.png | image_width = 250px | image_caption = | species = | cultivar = | origin = }}
Cultivar Group
edit{{Infobox cultivar | name = | image = IIH.png | image_width = 250px | image_caption = | species = <!-- or hybrid if appropriate --> | group = | origin = | subdivision = 'Cultivar 1'<br/> 'Cultivar 2'<br/> 'Cultivar 3' }}
Notes
edit- Images should be 250px wide.
- Italicize names of genera and species.
- Capitalize the cultivar name and place it in 'Single Quotes' (just plain single quotes, not "smart quotes") and don't italicise it.
- In referring to a hybrid, use a multiplication sign ( × ), not a small letter x.
Examples
editHybrid, not assigned to a species
editBrugmansia 'Feingold' | |
---|---|
Hybrid parentage | Brugmansia hybrid B. × 'Charles Grimaldi' × B. candida 'Goldenes Kornett' |
Cultivar | 'Feingold' |
Origin | Monika Gottschalk, Germany, 1993 |
Brugmansia 'Feingold' is cultivar not placed as to species because its parents did not belong to the same species: it is not an infraspecific hybrid. An interesting detail here is that one of its parents, B. 'Charles Grimaldi', is an intergeneric hybrid of B. candida × Datura cubensis, although this not apparent in its name (the cultivar is placed in Brugmansia). Note that this parentage of 'Charles Grimaldi' is not given in the box: that would be a step too far. The full details of parents, grandparents, etc. can be given in the article text.
Intraspecific hybrid
editMalus domestica 'Golden Delicious' | |
---|---|
Golden Delicious apple | |
Hybrid parentage | Malus domestica Parents unknown, theorized to be 'Golden Reinette' × 'Grimes Golden' |
Cultivar | 'Golden Delicious' |
Origin | Clay County, West Virginia, 1914 |
The 'Golden Delicious' apple is a cross of cultivars of the species Malus domestica whose origin is known even if the exact varieties that gave rise to it are not.
Hybrid, parents unknown
editRhododendron 'President Roosevelt' | |
---|---|
Hybrid parentage | Rhododendron hybrid Parents unknown |
Cultivar | 'President Roosevelt' |
Origin | Netherlands, 1920s |
The parents of Rhododendron 'President Roosevelt' are not known, so the "Hybrid parentage" section can only mention the genus.
Non-hybrid
editErysimum 'Chelsea Jacket' | |
---|---|
Species | Erysimum cheiri |
Cultivar | 'Chelsea Jacket' |
Erysimum 'Chelsea Jacket' was made by selecting individuals of the wild species Erysimum cheiri. Its origin is not known to this editor, so the "Origin" section is left blank in the infobox.
Cultivar Group
editCabbage | |
---|---|
Cabbage, cultivar unknown | |
Species | Brassica oleracea |
Cultivar group | Capitata Group |
Origin | Mediterranean, 1st century |
Cultivar group members | Many; see text. |
Member of a Cultivar Group
editLacinato Kale | |
---|---|
Species | Brassica oleracea |
Cultivar group | Acephala Group |
Cultivar | 'Lacinato' |

Cultivar with one or more marketing names
editRosa Royal William | |
---|---|
Genus | Rosa |
Cultivar | 'Korzaun' |
Marketing names | Royal William, Fragrant Charm, Duftzauber, La Magie du Parfum |

The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) requires a cultivar to have a single unique cultivar name, which is enclosed in single quotes. However, it may have any number of "trade designations", "marketing names" or "selling names". These must not be enclosed in single quotes (but according to the ICNCP should be distinguished typographically). Complete |marketing_names=
where these are relevant.
