species in animals means those individuals that can breed and produce fertile
offspring, but plants means can produce viable seed when pollinated by another of
same species.
cultivar is an unusual mutation AKA sport. For example, hosta are all one species,
but you will see hosta that are blue, hosta that are splashed with white or yellow.
these are cultivars and reproduced usually by division. in orchids this is even more
important cause the cultivar is registered and cloned to make thousands of identical
plants. Ingrid
