In botanical nomenclature, a subvariety (subvarietas) is a taxonomic rank below that of variety (varietas) but above that of form (forma): it is an infraspecific taxon. Its name consists of three parts: a genus name, a specific epithet and an infraspecific epithet. To indicate the rank, the abbreviation subvar. should be put before the infraspecific epithet.
