Editing Variegation (section)

== Nomenclature ==
By convention, the italicised term ''<nowiki/>'variegata''' as the second part of the Latin [[Binomial nomenclature|binomial]] name, indicates a [[species]] found in the wild with variegation (''[[Aloe variegata]]''). The much more common, non-italicised, inclusion of 'Variegata' as the third element of a name indicates a variegated [[cultivar]] of an unvariegated parent (''[[Aucuba japonica]]'' 'Variegata'). However, not all variegated plants have this Latin tag, for instance many cultivars of ''[[Pelargonium]]'' have some zonal variegation in their leaves. Other types of variegation may be indicated, e.g. ''[[Daphne odora]]'' 'Aureomarginata' has yellow edging on its leaves.
