  Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron warscewiczii

John,

As I understand the proper way to write cultivar names, these are both acceptable:

P. warscewiczii 'Flavum'
-or-
P. warscewiczii cv Flavum

If you use "cv" then don't use any quotes (always single quotes BTW) and vice versa. I think it is more common, by convention, to use single quotes and omit the cv. The cultivar name is always capitalized but never the specific epithet.
