So then, Bruce Bednar did make the cross, but he didn't publish
the new cultivar name. Is that correct? The label for my 'Kosobe'
should then read, "_N. * stewartii_ (Bednar '93)" until he, if ever,
has a name for it published?

And the label for the N.wrigl*ey*ana ought to read:
N. * stewartii cv. 'wrigleyana'
That is, if I understand the rules so far...
