species

In sexually reproducing organisms (such as higher plants, such as coffee), species are made up of individuals who can reproduce each other to produce dynamic offspring.

Variety

A botanical variety is a taxonomic level below the species and subspecies level and above the morphological level (morphology / variety / subspecies / species / genus / etc.). Its appearance is different from that of other varieties, but it can be crossed freely with other varieties. Another meaning used by plant breeders in legal texts is synonyms for cultivation, which may have legal implications.

Variety

A variety produced by human influence. These can be selected from existing cultivated or wild populations. It is a systematic cultivated flora with obvious differentiation, unity and stability, and can still maintain the same characteristics under appropriate breeding methods.

Hybrid power system

In the strictest sense of this definition, only hybrids between different species are considered (compared with hybrids within individuals of the same species).

Cross

The deliberate reproduction of two different individuals whose offspring carry part of the genetic material of their parents. The parent individuals involved in hybridization may come from closely related species or from different species.

Coffea

This plant genus, commonly known as Coffee, is made up of more than 120 individual species. These are usually opposite evergreen shrubs or small trees under shrubs with horizontal branching patterns.
