Variety \Va*ri"e*ty\, n.; pl. {Varieties}. [L. varietas: cf. F.       vari[82]t[82]. See {Various}.]       1. The quality or state of being various; intermixture or             succession of different things; diversity;             multifariousness.                         Variety is nothing else but a continued novelty.                                                                               --South.                         The variety of colors depends upon the composition                      of light.                                          --Sir I.                                                                               Newton.                         For earth this variety from heaven.   --Milton.                         There is a variety in the tempers of good men.                                                                               --Atterbury.          2. That which is various. Specifically:             (a) A number or collection of different things; a varied                   assortment; as, a variety of cottons and silks.                               He . . . wants more time to do that variety of                            good which his soul thirsts after. --Law.             (b) Something varying or differing from others of the same                   general kind; one of a number of things that are akin;                   a sort; as, varieties of wood, land, rocks, etc.             (c) (Biol.) An individual, or group of individuals, of a                   species differing from the rest in some one or more of                   the characteristics typical of the species, and                   capable either of perpetuating itself for a period, or                   of being perpetuated by artificial means; hence, a                   subdivision, or peculiar form, of a species.          Note: Varieties usually differ from species in that any two,                however unlike, will generally propagate indefinitely                (unless they are in their nature unfertile, as some                varieties of rose and other cultivated plants); in                being a result of climate, food, or other extrinsic                conditions or influences, but generally by a sudden,                rather than a gradual, development; and in tending in                many cases to lose their distinctive peculiarities when                the individuals are left to a state of nature, and                especially if restored to the conditions that are                natural to typical individuals of the species. Many                varieties of domesticated animals and of cultivated                plants have been directly produced by man.             (d) In inorganic nature, one of those forms in which a                   species may occur, which differ in minor                   characteristics of structure, color, purity of                   composition, etc.          Note: These may be viewed as variations from the typical                species in its most perfect and purest form, or, as is                more commonly the case, all the forms, including the                latter, may rank as Varieties. Thus, the sapphire is a                blue variety, and the ruby a red variety, of corundum;                again, calcite has many Varieties differing in form and                structure, as Iceland spar, dogtooth spar, satin spar,                and also others characterized by the presence of small                quantities of magnesia, iron, manganese, etc. Still                again, there are Varieties of granite differing in                structure, as graphic granite, porphyritic granite, and                other Varieties differing in composition, as albitic                granite, hornblendic, or syenitic, granite, etc.          {Geographical variety} (Biol.), a variety of any species             which is coincident with a geographical region, and is             usually dependent upon, or caused by, peculiarities of             climate.          {Variety hybrid} (Biol.), a cross between two individuals of             different varieties of the same species; a mongrel.          Syn: Diversity; difference; kind.          Usage: {Variety}, {Diversity}. A man has a variety of                   employments when he does many things which are not a                   mere repetition of the same act; he has a diversity of                   employments when the several acts performed are unlike                   each other, that is, diverse. In most cases, where                   there is variety there will be more or less of                   diversity, but not always. One who sells railroad                   tickets performs a great variety of acts in a day,                   while there is but little diversity in his employment.                               All sorts are here that all the earth yields!                            Variety without end.                     --Milton.                               But see in all corporeal nature's scene, What                            changes, what diversities, have been!                                                                               --Blackmore.
