What is "clonotype"

n. (context botany English) herbarium specimens made from plants vegetatively propagated from (and thus clones of) the same plant from which a type specimen was made. Clonotypes are of some use in documenting a type collection but have no status under the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International%20Code%20of%20Botanical%20Nomenclature. The term is sometimes also used to refer to the living plants themselves.
