Wow. At first I thought I was the only one who was confused by all this
and thought that I was having a private conversation with Jan across the
list.
There has been some discussion about creating "cultivar groups" without
naming a parent as a cultivar. If I am following this discussion, it
sounds like this could be functionally achieved within the established
rules by naming a cultivar (with parents of parentage X and Y) and
specifying that this cultivar can reproduced either vegetatively (from
any plant of that cultivar) or sexually by crossing parents X and Y.
While this would not actually define an official "cultivar group" it
would give a name to a group of plants with the same parentage. This
cultivar will potentially have a great deal of variability in its
appearance. If there are exceptional specimens of this cultivar, then
they could be given a different cultivar name and specified that this new
cultivar can only be reproduced vegetatively. Is this correct? Would
there be undesirable ramifications to this?
