Typically

Plants are variable in their observable characteristics. Specimens of a particular species may not all be exactly alike.

 "Typically" is one of several qualifiers, including sometimes and often.  It is used to describe the degree of variability in plant characteristics.

Typically means, most of the time, much more likely than not, or normally - but not necessarily always.

For example, when finding a population of a particular species that typically has hairy stems, we can expect to see plants with that characteristic most of the time, but rarely otherwise.
