Abstract: Let $mathcalF$ be a hereditary collection of finite subsets of $mathbbN$. In this paper, we introduce and characterize $mathcalF$-(almost) greedy bases. Given such a family $mathcalF$, a basis $(e_n{)}_n$ for a Banach space $X$ is called $mathcalF$-greedy if there is a constant $Cgeqslant1$ such that for each $xinX$, $minmathbbN$, and $G_m(x)$, we have ${\displaystyle }$|x - G_m(x)| leqslant C infleft{left|x-sum_{nin A}a_ne_n ight|,:, |A|leqslant m, Ain mathcal{F}, (a_n)subset mathbb{K} ight}.${\displaystyle }$ Here $G_m(x)$ is a greedy sum of $x$ of order $m$, and $mathbbK$ is the scalar field. From the definition, any $mathcalF$-greedy basis is quasi-greedy and so, the notion of being $mathcalF$-greedy lies between being greedy and being quasi-greedy. We characterize $mathcalF$-greedy bases as being $mathcalF$-unconditional, $mathcalF$-disjoint democratic, and quasi-greedy, thus generalizing the well-known characterization of greedy bases by Konyagin and Temlyakov. We also prove a similar characterization for $mathcalF$-almost greedy bases. Furthermore, we provide several examples of bases that are nontrivially $mathcalF$-greedy. For a countable ordinal $alpha$, we consider the case $mathcalF=mathcal{S}_{a}lpha$, where $mathcal{S}_{a}lpha$ is the Schreier family of order $alpha$. We show that for each $alpha$, there is a basis that is $mathcal{S}_{alpha}$-greedy but is not $mathcal{S}_{alpha+1}$-greedy. In other words, we prove that none of the following implications can be reversed: for two countable ordinals $$, ${\displaystyle }$mbox{quasi-greedy} Longleftarrow mathcal{S}_alphambox{-greedy} Longleftarrow mathcal{S}_�etambox{-greedy} Longleftarrow mbox{greedy}.${\displaystyle }$
