Cultivar at AllExperts (543 words) |
 | Cultivar names before 1 January 1959 were often given in Latin form and can be readily confused with names of botanical taxa, but after that date, must be in a modern vernacular language to distinguish them from botanical names. |
 | Cultivars that are still being developed and not yet ready for release to seed companies often are coded with letters (signifying the university or other organization working on the variety) and numbers. |
 | Cultivars that have originated as hybrids of different species are exotic, as is a plant from a different continent. |
| International Carnivous Plant Society (1119 words) |
 | Cultivar names consist of the name of the denomination class (Latin genus name) plus a cultivar epithet (in a modern language) in single quotation marks. |
 | The cultivar name of a plant which is a member of a cultivar-group is properly given by including the cultivar-group name in parentheses before or after the cultivar epithet. |
 | Furthermore, by accepting a cultivar or cultivar-group name, the Registrar is not conferring any implied judgement upon the value of the plant as a horticultural entity. |
