Cultigena[1] est in botanica planta ab homine de industria mutata aut selecta. Itaque ex iis quae generantur e terra, cultigenae sunt stirpes et herbae quae selectione artificiali producuntur. Huius generis anthropogenae sive res humano consilio effectae plerumque mercandi causa adhibentur in agrorum, hortorum, silvarum cultura. Cultigenae non eo, ubi adolescunt, sed eo, quo modo ortae sunt, definiuntur. Itaque stirpes et herbae huic definitioni respondentes cultigenae dicuntur, sive naturalizatae sataeve de industria sunt in loca inculta, sive in cultura sunt.

L.H.Bailey, qui vocabulum Anglicum cultigen ex vocabulo indigen 'indigena' excudit.

Cultigenarum genera haec fere sunt:

  • varietates ex locis incultis selectae;
  • varietates excultae earumque selectiones;
  • stirpes et herbae genis mutatae, id est: quibus materia genetica de industria insita est;
  • variae insitiones, inter quas stirpes quibus insiti sunt silvestrium arborum surculi ad adipiscendum commixta texta; hybridae; selectiones peculiares.

Cultigenae multis modis nuncupari possunt. Translaticia scientificae nomenclaturae ratio est quae consilia Codicis nomenclaturae botanicae internationalis sequitur. Hac ratione nuncupatae sunt multae cultigenae utilissimae, sicut banana et maizium. Quamquam plane nihil obstat, quin quaelibet cultigena nomine botanico ornetur cuiuslibet gradus, nunc aut aliquando,[2] hodie increbruit nomenclaturae consuetudo, ut nominentur cultigenae secundum praecepta, regulas, commendationes statutas libro Cultivated Plant Code inscripto,[3] qui ad triplicem cultigenarum nuncupandarum rationem decurrit his usus categoriis: cultivar, Gruppus cultivar, grex.[4] Quae cum ita sint, dici potest natam esse stirpium et herbarum excultarum taxinomiae disciplinam, quae certam dat rationem, qua cultigenae respiciantur.[5] Omnes cultigenae nomen non receperunt ex his praeceptis.
