Cultivars of this maple are found in almost every maple collection including Esveld Aceretum (Boskoop, Netherlands) and the large Acer section of Arnold Arboretum (Boston, Massachusetts).

Arboretum de la Sédelle

Today the arboretum has grown to contain more than 370 taxa of woody plants, including major collections of Acer (130 taxa including 90 species and subspecies, with the remainder cultivars), Viburnum (27 taxa), Quercus (27), Cornus (23), Euonymus (15), Rhus (10), Tilia (9), and Liquidambar (4).

Buddleja lindleyana 'Gloster'

Examples of all the cultivars were sent to the Longstock Park Nursery in the UK by the Bernheim Arboretum for assessment, but only 'Miss Virie' survives (2012).

Cavendish banana subgroup

The Cavendish banana subgroup is named after the Dwarf Cavendish cultivar within its subgroup, which is named in honour of William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, who acquired an early specimen, and from whose hothouses the cultivars were first developed for commercial exploitation worldwide.

Charles Mason Hovey

Hovey collected cultivars of pear, apple, plum and grape, also cultivating florist and ornamental plants, with a particular fondness for Camellia and Chrysanthemum.

Citrus psorosis virus

Three Egyptian isolates of Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV-EG)—ARC, TB and TN—were obtained from three citrus cultivars—Grapefruit, Balady and Navel—respectively.

Common wheat

RHt genes were introduced to modern wheat varieties in the 1960s by Norman Borlaug from Norin 10 cultivars of wheat grown in Japan.

Cucurbita pepo

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD DNA) has proven useful in sorting out the relationships of the C. pepo species, varieties, and cultivars, showing that few, if any, modern cultivars have their origins with C. texana. They are associated with C. fraterna or a still unknown ancestral specimen in southern Mexico.

Cultivar

Cultivars generally occur as ornamentals and food crops: Malus 'Granny Smith' and Malus 'Red Delicious' are cultivars of apples propagated by cuttings or grafting, Lactuca 'Red Sails' and Lactuca 'Great Lakes' are lettuce cultivars propagated by seeds.

Dasiphora fruticosa

It was introduced into cultivation in the 18th century, but many of the modern cultivars, particularly those with orange or red flowers, derive from collections by Reginald Farrer in western China in the early 20th century.

Dicentra peregrina

There are several hybrid cultivars, cultivated as ornamental plants, involving Dicentra eximia, Dicentra formosa, and Dicentra nevadensis.

Fe'i banana

Molecular analysis of bananas with this growth habit from Papua New Guinea has shown evidence of genetic input from M. acuminata and M. balbisiana, the parents of the section Musa cultivars.

Grevillea alpina

In 2003, it was reported that the fungal disease Phytophthora palmivora had been detected in plant nurseries in Sicily, leading to root rot and death of potted Grevillea cultivars.

Guitarrero Cave

Some of the evidence of early domesticated beans Phaseolus, chili, corn and other cultivars have been argued for Guitarrero.

Heidi Klum rose

German model Heidi Klum chose it herself from 15 cultivars and christened it in person during a rose show in 2005.

HLA-DQ8

Most of American cultivars were domesticated south of the Rio Grande (exceptions are Caddo rice and Texas varigated squash, etc.).

Hoovina Hadagali

Hadagali Mallige (Jasminum auriculatum) is one of the top three cultivars of Jasmine endemic to Karnataka, grown mainly in Huvina Hadagali and surrounding areas in Bellary district of Karnataka.

Horsea Island

The south-eastern extremity of the site, beyond the SSSI, has been used since 2001 as a trials site by Butterfly Conservation for the evaluation of new disease-resistant elm cultivars in support of the White-letter Hairstreak.

Jasminum humile

Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use, of which 'Revolutum' (syn. J. reevesii Hort.) has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Koko Crater Botanical Garden

Its hot, dry climate is suitable for Plumeria and Bougainvillea cultivars in the outer crater, kiawe (Prosopis pallida) and koa haole (Leucaena leucocephala) trees, and four major collections organized by region (Africa, the Americas, Hawaii, Madagascar).

Lilac witches'-broom

Certain cultivars of lilacs appear to be more susceptible, notably those of the Preston Lilac Series developed at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa Canada.

Loganberry

Since Logan's time, crosses between the cultivars of raspberry and blackberry have confirmed the Loganberry's parentage, with an earlier theory that the Loganberry originated as a red-fruiting form of the common Californian blackberry Rubus ursinus now disproved.

Prunus salicina

Plant breeder Luther Burbank devoted a lot or work to hybridizing this species with the Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) and developed a number of cultivars from the hybrid.

Prunus simonii

Plant breeder Luther Burbank devoted a lot of work to hybridizing this species with the Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) and developed a number of cultivars from the hybrid.

Spathiphyllum wallisii

A number of cultivars, many of hybrid origin, are commercially available, such as the larger hybrids "Mauna Loa”, named after the Hawaiian volcano, and the even larger “Sensation”, which are both popular indoor plants. "Domino" is a finely variegated variety of intermediate size.

Sweet pea

His initial success and recognition came while serving as head gardener for the Earl of Radnor, raising new cultivars of pelargoniums and dahlias.

Tea Research and Extension Station

The Taiwan Tea Research and Extension Station also known as TRES is the research and development center of Taiwan tea where scientists and tea masters conduct study, research and experiment to improve tea plantations, to develop new and better cultivars, to manufacture and educate the industry and consumers.

Théodore Année

Monsieur Année then spent the next 20 years creating many more cultivars, until retiring to Nice, in Southern France, in 1866.

Thomcord

The FPS also deposited genetic material in the National Plant Germplasm System, which offers material for research, including development and commercialization of new cultivars.

Walter Hunnewell Arboretum

The collection of specimen trees and shrubs include towering American White and English Oaks, lindens, tulip trees, bald cypress, and Chinese Golden Larch, as well as different species and cultivars of azaleas, lilacs, viburnums, hollies, weeping cherries and rhododendrons.
