From culti(vated) + -gen, or from Latin cultus (“cultivated”) + gēns (“kind”). Coined by American botanist Liberty Hyde Bailey in 1918.
Cultigen and cultivar may be confused with one another. Cultigen is a general-purpose term while cultivar is a formal classification category in the ICNCP (“International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants”). In practice most cultigens are cultivars.
