Couldn't a new cross be established as a cultivar group? For example, if
I were the first to cross S.leucophylla with S.purpurea, and wanted to
formally establish this cross as S.x 'mitchelliana,' wouldn't all
S.x(leucophylla x purpurea) hybrids be in the cultivar group S.x
'mitchelliana?' Any plants of this cross with uniqueness could then be
established as cultivars of the cultivar group S.x 'mitchelliana.' If
so, then this seems to be what Peter DiAmato is suggesting.
