Haploids out of polyploid parents are often simply called 'haploids' without ambiguity but, in practice, a distinction is sometimes useful, so those derived from tetraploids are 'dihaploids' and the words 'trihaploid' and 'tetrahaploid' could be used if needed; collectively, all such are 'polyhaploid'. 1, record 1, English, - tetrahaploid

Les haploïdes qui proviennent de parents polyploïdes s'appellent simplement des haploïdes; il faut cependant faire une distinction pratique en ce sens que les dihaploïdes proviennent de tétraploïdes et les mots trihaploïdes et tétrahaploïdes peuvent désigner des polyhaploïdes spécifiques. 1, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9trahaplo%C3%AFde
