Is there a procedure in place for investigating and dealing with suspected synonyms?

The IAS has long been assigned as the cultivar registrar for most Aroids,
and has for just about as long attempted to get a registry off the ground.
So far it has been an uphill battle, both from an administrative point of
view and a participatory point of view.
This is about to change.
As a result of popular demand ( well, Miguel Pasqual asked for something
for Philodendrons at least ), the IAS is pleased to present the Aroid
Cultivar Wiki at
http://www.aroid.org/cvwiki/The idea is to make this a more collaborative effort - growers, or anyone,
really, can submit cultivar names and add as much information as they
happen to have on the cultivars, with the eventual goal of publishing any
unpublished cultivar names and also recording information on cultivars
before it is lost in the mists of time.
I would ask all members to have a look, especially folks like Brian Williams
and LariAnn Garner who are so active in creating new plants for us to
enjoy. Official registration is easy - we just need the name though we
would appreciate any additional information you have available - and you
can get exposure for your business by listing yourself as the originator of
a cultivar.
As this is a young project in progress, please do not hesitate to let me
know what is working and what is not, and what direction you'd like to see
it headed. And email me for an account if you happen to have a little time
to flesh out the listings.
