Fragaria
Let an agent explain the genus Fragaria and its species, relay botany, breeding and cultivation from horticultural sources, describe the beach strawberry and cultivars the registry aliases name, and distinguish Fragaria from the fruit as food, from mock strawberry and from the garden strawberry hybrid as a single taxon.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the genus Fragaria and its species, relay botany, breeding and cultivation from horticultural sources, describe the beach strawberry and cultivars the registry aliases name, and distinguish Fragaria from the fruit as food, from mock strawberry and from the garden strawberry hybrid as a single taxon.
The genus of strawberries in the rose family, comprising about twenty species of low perennial herbs with runners, white flowers and red aggregate accessory fruits, including the wild strawberry Fragaria vesca, the beach strawberry Fragaria chiloensis of the Americas, and the cultivated garden strawberry Fragaria x ananassa, a hybrid of chiloensis and virginiana raised in 18th-century France, with cultivars such as the Japanese Tochiotome; strawberries are grown worldwide as a major fruit crop.
What it is for: Not applicable; a plant genus.
It can be explain the genus; relay species and breeding; describe named taxa; distinguish related plants.
Distinguishing features
Rose family genus
Accessory fruit
Runners
Major crop hybrid
What it looks like
Low herbs with trifoliate leaves, runners, white flowers and red fruits.
Physical character
species: about 20 count
garden strawberry origin: 1750s note - Brittany, France
world production: about 9 million tonnes - China largest
ploidy range: diploid to decaploid note
How it is recognised
Strawberry genus
Fragaria vesca, Fragaria chiloensis, Fragaria x ananassa, Tochiotome
The fruit is the food; mock strawberry is Potentilla indica; the garden strawberry is one hybrid species

What the second pass must settle
- Should Fragaria chiloensis and the garden strawberry be separate primary entries?
- How should horticultural sources be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming a species and a cultivar; should they be split off?
