All ye amorphophiles,
One thing about establishing cultivar names: USE the ICNCP (Cultivated
Plant Code, ed. 1995)!!!!!!! And also be sure that we are dealing with
material of which a substantial number of individuals is alive and
probably will be for a time. We don't need cultivars that live for only
a few weeks or months.
Cheers,
Wilbert
