Default Re: Musa sp. yangtse ........ which variety is this?

So to confirm, subspecies are varieties, and forms are a subset of varieties?

Thanks Tony! [/quote]


subspecies are varieties, but forms are a subforma and not subsets of varieties

in botanical nomenclature, a form (forma) is a low-level taxonomic rank below that of variety; it is an infraspecific taxon.
some botanist dont like to use it.
I think thats right.
