🌱 What Are Plant Subspecies and Varieties? | Plant Taxonomy Explained
🌲In this video, we explain the plant taxonomic ranks below species—subspecies and varieties. These categories help scientists describe subtle or significant natural variation in plants. Learn how to tell the difference between them, when they’re used, and why it matters for plant identification and botanical classification.
🎯 You’ll Learn:
• What defines a plant subspecies and how it forms
• How varieties differ from subspecies in traits and range
• When and why these ranks are used in formal classification
• Real examples, including Torrey pine and seaside fiddleneck
• Why “variety” is only used in plant taxonomy, not wildlife
**🌎Note: Species names and taxonomy described in this video reflect current information but may change in the future.
