What does "landrace" mean??

[JH420]

I hear of "landrace" alien tech and jamaican sativa etc but I can't find the definition of the word...can someone help a brotha out?

"Landrace refers to plants adapted to the natural and cultural environment in which they live (or originated). They often develop naturally with minimal assistance or guidance from humans using traditional breeding methods. Landraces differ somewhat from what is commonly termed a breed, and usually possess more diverse phenotypes and genotypes. They often form the basis of more highly-bred formalised breeds. Sometimes a formalised breed retains the "landrace" name, despite no longer being a true landrace."
