A term used in Venezuela to distinguish a wild plant from its cultivated counterpart. It is appended to a plant's name to indicate it is the uncultivated, wild, or feral version of that species.
When a plant is already known as a cultivated variety and another is wild, the wild one is given the name of the first followed by the adjective cimarrona or de monte. That is how you get: guayaba cimarrona, which is used even when both are wild if one has larger fruit than the other.
