*Daucus carota Linnaeus ssp. sativus Schübler & G. von Martens. Garden Carrot. Hab: Planted as a garden vegetable, and as a short-lived waif around gardens. Dist: Originated in central Asia only about 1000 years ago from an ancestor genetically differentiated from D. carota ssp. carota (Iorizzo et al. 2013).

Origin/Endemic status: W. Asia

Taxonomy Comments: Intrataxon rank seems warranted to emphasize the separate evolutionary clades and history of ssp. carota and ssp. sativus.

Other Comments: The familiar "orange form" was apparently only selected from other cultivated carrots (of purple or yellow color) around 1500 a.d. (Iorizzo et al. 2013).
