Generally a "species" is a group of organisms which will interbreed with each other but not with other organisms. This definition is sometimes a little vague because, in the animal kingdom, a horse will breed with a donkey to give a mule (which is sterile and won't breed with anything.) In the plant kingdom, the grey area between one species and the next is often much bigger. Klines exist where plants of the same species close by will interbreed but those of the same species further apart will not. There is often cross pollination between related plants and natural hybrids are common. Sometimes these hybrids will continue to breed and other times they will not. In the bacteria kingdom the line drawn between one species and the next is even more vague because bacterial cells can often absorb DNA from non related bacteria. Generally, a species is defined by accepted publication of some author. The rules for publication of plant species (and all taxa) are contained in the International code for botanical nomenclature. SEE RELATED LINKS BELOW Other branches of Biology also have their own rules.
