Subvariety

Subvariety

In botanical nomenclature, a subvariety ("subvarietas") is a taxonomic rank below that of variety ("varietas") but above that of form ("forma"): it is an infraspecific taxon. Its name consists of three parts: a genus name, a specific epithet and an infraspecific epithet. To indicate the rank, the abbreviation "subvar." should be put before the infraspecific epithet.
