The '''lists of cultivars''' in the table below are indexes of [[Biology:Plant|plant]] [[Biology:Cultivar|cultivar]]s, [[Social:Plant variety (law)|varieties]], and [[Biology:Strain|strains]]. A ''cultivar'' is a plant that is selected for desirable characteristics that can be maintained by [[Earth:Plant propagation|propagation]].

The plants listed may be ornamental, medicinal, and/or [[Biology:Eating|edible]]. Several of them bear edible [[Biology:Fruit|fruit]]. Plants are [[Biology:Selective breeding|selectively bred]] for [[Biology:Phenotypic trait|phenotypic trait]]s (such as flower colour) and other hereditary traits. When developing a new variety, a plant breeder might value such characteristics as appearance, [[Biology:Disease resistance in fruit and vegetables|disease resistance]], and [[Earth:Hardiness (plants)|hardiness]]. In the cultivation of edible fruit and vegetables, nutritional value, [[Finance:Shelf life|shelf life]], and [[Earth:Crop yield|crop yield]] are also among the potential considerations.

Some of the lists use the word ''variety'' instead of ''cultivar''. In most of these lists, ''variety'' refers to a cultivar that is recognised by the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). A cultivar must meet certain criteria in order to be recognised by UPOV as a named [[Social:Plant variety (law)|variety]].

In a few lists, ''[[Biology:Variety (botany)|variety]]'' means something else: a [[Biology:Taxonomic rank|taxonomic rank]] below that of [[Biology:Species|species]] (a kind of [[Biology:Subspecies|subspecies]]). If the species' binomial name is followed by the word ''var.'' and another name, that is a botanical variety, not a cultivar.
