In any event. This is one of the very purposes of cultivar selection.
If the "recognizable distinction" is tolerance to certain temperature
(etc.) conditions which other plants of comparable
provenience/parentage do not tolerate, it would certainly qualify the
respective plant for cultivar selection. This is of course not the
normal situation in plants considered specialists items like
_Nepenthes_ but it has naturally a great significance e.g. in the
vegetable scene.

Kind regards
