Varieties usually differ from species in that any two ,

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 .
