I guess this is the same as Lillian's Yellow Heirloom Tomato?
Is there a scientific classification for these tomatoes?
--Crio de la Paz (talk) 23:33, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's an heirloom tomato. I think heirlooms are treated as plant varietals, so the scientific classification would be something like Solanum lycopersicum var Lillian's Yellow . . . although that's rarely used to describe them.--Stvfetterly (talk) 14:42, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Variety has two different meanings; it can mean a particular strain of a cultivated plant ("cultivar"), or a naturally occurring variant of a wild species. In this case, the cultivar meaning applies; the name would be "Solanum lycopersicum cv. 'Lillian's Yellow'" (although actually, including the "cv." is discouraged; the cultivar name in single quotes is sufficient). Plantdrew (talk) 18:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
