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.

 Cultivar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For this, it must be distinct from other cultivars and it must be possible to propagate it reliably, in the manner prescribed for that particular cultivar.
The word cultivar is a portmanteau coined from "cultivated" and "variety" but is not interchangeable with the botanical rank of variety, nor with the legal term "plant variety".
A cultivar is a particular variety of a plant species or hybrid that is being cultivated and/or is recognised as a cultivar under the ICNCP.

 Nelumbo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
International Cultivar Registration Authorities (ICRAs) are appointed by the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) through its Commission for Nomenclature and Registration and are contracted to operate within the provisions of the current edition of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP).
The importance of horticultural taxonomy is in the resolution of the often complicated identification and nomenclatural problems that arise as a consequence of makeup of the contributing groups; specialist amateurs, the nursery trade and plant societies.
Cultivars of Nelumbo are registered first "to prevent, as far as possible, names already appropriated being given to new seedlings", and secondly to prevent the use of names which so closely resemble existing names that they would cause confusion.

Cultivars in the Lisa and Mermaid cultivar-groups, are dwarf, while cultivars in the Tiara and Florida cultivar-groups are semi-dwarf.
The most important and distinguishing attribute of all the Florida cultivar-group cultivars as compared with other dwarf and semi-dwarf commercial lines was their heat-tolerance (Table 1).
Florida cultivars are intended to be used as bedding plants or for flowering potted plants.

 Taxonomic Classification   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Species generally refer to interbreeding sub-group of genus or groupings of individual plants that adhere to essential identification characteristics but display sufficient variation so as not to be categorized as replicas of one another.
Cultivar is a species sub-grouping of cultivated plants (cultivated variety) displaying unique differences and when reproduced by seeds or cuttings retain its distinguishing characteristics.
In technical writing, the cultivar name follows the genus and species and is always capitalized and written inside single quotes but not italicized.

 Naming a Cultivar ?
Nothing can be used that is likely to cause confusion (eg similarity to existing cultivar names within the denomination class, place names if more than one form of the plant exists there) or which exaggerate the merits of the cultivar.
The cultivar epithet can only be used once within a denomination class (the genus).
7.1 The name of a cultivar or Group consists of the name of the genus or lower taxonomic unit to which it is assigned together with a cultivar or Group epithet.

The Pearl Group covers all other double-flowered clones of this species, including seed-raised plants which are markedly inferior, sometimes scarcely double, often invasive and usually needing careful staking.
Cultivars formally ascribed to one species or the other have been shown to be hybrids and are referable to the recently-named hybrid species
This name, originally for a pink-flowered, green-leaved cultivar, is now generally applied to a purple-flowered, dark-leaved cultivar that seems to lack a valid name.

The cross pollination efficiency depends on the distance between the pollen donor tree and the pollinated tree, on the overlapping efficiency between the former male bloom and the latter female bloom, and on the pollinator mobility and density.
In many cases, cross pollination of a group A cultivar by a group B cultivar is more efficient than the opposite way, due to the efficient overlap between the group A female bloom and the group B male bloom, and the inefficient overlap of the opposite blooms.
In some cultivars, such as 'Hass', 'Ettinger' and 'Reed', it was demonstrated that one pollen grain has a very low probability to fertilize the female stage flower, and twenty pollen grains or more per stigma are needed to achieve a high probability of fertilization.

Cultivar genetic clustering resulting from differences in trait expression can be the basis for parental selection in hybrid breeding programs.
When genetic distances among cultivars and inbreds were larger, the nearest-neighbor method was not to be found an adequate classifier and groups were merged one by one.
Six groups of cultivars and in breeds were analyzed further, and representative traits and common features were found (Table 1).

 INTRODUCTION
Camellia cultivars are freely distributed and interchanged throughout the Camellia growing areas of the world, so that the Register must be maintained on a truly international basis, and it is only by the continuing co-operation of all concerned that this object may be achieved.
Rarely, if ever, is it possible to state categorically that a particular cultivar is extinct, and, in any case, once a name is published it is on record for all future time as a potential source of confusion if any other plant from the same group is allowed to assume the same epithet.
Following the cultivar group name is the name of the author of the first valid listing, with the title of the publication, together with the date and page number, where this information is known.

 Thymus: Coccineus Group
The Latin form of the epithet Coccineus is permissible as it is based on the pre1958 usage as a cultivar for plants that now fall within the new Group.
There are however cultivars, either with dark crimson flowers, or with the epithet Coccineus, which should not be included in the new Group.
This dwarf thyme should therefore be included in the new Coccineus group, but it would be permissible to give it a cultivar name within the Group if nurserymen wish to distinguish it from the other taller dark crimson thymes within the Group.

A CULTIVAR is an individual that has been selected from a GREX because of a particular attribute or combination of attributes.
Thus, when a CULTIVAR is given a name and distributed, one can be assured that all plants with this name have the same characteristics and uniformity.
Cultivars should be grown through several cycles of pupping and blooming to ensure that they are stable and reproduce consistently.

 The Carnivorous Plant FAQ: cultivar registration
As I described in the previous FAQ entry, a cultivar is a plant recognized for its special, superior qualities.
At least a few dozen specimens of the potential cultivar should be in cultivation, and should be under the care of several different growers.
So you see, registering a plant as a cultivar is a little tricky, but a cultivar designation is meant to describe a truly superior plant.

 OAK CULTIVAR NAME REGISTRATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The International Oak Society was appointed as International Cultivar Registration Authority (ICRA) for the genus Quercus by the Commission for Nomenclature and Cultivar Registration of the International Society for Horticultural Science (I.S.H.S.) in 1998.
All ICRAs are contracted to operate within the provisions of the current I.C.N.C.P. It is not the function of an ICRA to (a) conduct trials, (b) judge if one cultivar or Group is more meritorious or useful than another or (c) judge distinctness of cultivars or Groups.
ICRAs record cultivar and Group names, not the cultivars or Groups themselves, so one does not register a new cultivar with an ICRA, one registers their names.

 International Cultivar Registration Authorities
The executive committee of this Commission is responsible for the appointment of all International Cultivar Registration Authorities (ICRAs) and for the monitoring of their work.
The scheme operates under the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) and its chief aim is to prevent duplicated uses of cultivar and Group epithets within a defined denomination class (usually a genus), as well as ensuring that names are in all other respects in accord with the latest edition of the ICNCP.
ICRAs may record more than just cultivar and Group epithets as they may also note trade designations and trademarks used in labelling plant material, so as to help avoid confusion with properly established names.

 HORTAX NEWS Vol 1, Part 2 - 19 Feb 1996
This group was set up to improve the taxonomy and nomenclature of all cultivated plants, to share information and resources, to promote better nomenclatural practices, and to strive for a clearer and philosophically sound code of nomenclature for cultivated plants.
The point behind a cultivar is that if propagated by an appropriate method, it may be distributed and purchased true to name and the buyer will get a plant as close as is possible to the original.
VKC argued that the term "group" as introduced and defined in the 1980 ICNCP leaves room for accommodating ill-defined populations of cultivated plants that have not reached the status of wide acceptance, which is why they do not have a name, or, put differently, which is why they have not been accommodated in a classification.

 Sorting Musa names.html
In the meantime it is recommended by authorities to conserve cultivar names, inappropriate as they may sometime be, because they are familiar to field workers, and adopt the grouping system in nomenclature as illustrated below (ie groups of the type (AAB Group), not the cultigroups which may lead to extreme confusion).
Others are totally against the idea and are of the opinion that anyone reading A or B in a group name ought to know that they refer to acuminata and balbisiana.
Given that group names based on ploidy only exist in relation to bananas, ignoring any grouping and any specific epithet is too tempting to be resisted to.
