Dear Jan,
Perhap's it would benefit the CP community if a guide-line
for naming species and cultivars as an article or supplament was
included in CPN. If I were not on this digest, I would not know
about the naming of plants. Why would a lay person who grows
plants understand the rules *and understand their importance** to
naming plants? It's not standard education in the US. While growers
on this list this should know better, especially long time members,
where else are other ICPS members going to get this infomation,
besides CPN? If it's *not* a lack of knowledge, then the situation
of undocumented cultivars strikes me as laziness.
