RE: Anthurium hybrids

From: "Hetterscheid, W." Hetter at Plantscope.nl> on 1999.09.09 at 14:46:06(3633) Jay, As member of the International Commission for Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants, I am gonna be picky about your message, where I noticed a few often encountered mistakes in terminology........DON'T HIT ME!!! 1) a cultivar, the name of which is denoted by the single high quotation marks (well done!) must not also be written with the cross-sign and should not a priory be named "hybrid" but "cultivar" (not all cultivars are hybirds anyway). +More 2) a grex is a bunch of seedlings from ONE particular cross. It is NOT a plant and NOT a cultivar. Of course this A. x bullatus thing seems to be written o.k. since it has gotten a latin name (waste of time and energy, BTW). Sorry, but I just couldn't let this one go.
