At various times across the forum the subject of the Registration of Plant ( cultivar) names has cropped up - on
this page you will find a list of the registrars for a range of plants from
ICRAS : International Cultivar Registration Authorities - this is part of the
ISHS site ( the Institute for Horticultural Science)
Hortax, formed in 1988, is a small committee of plant taxonomists and horticulturists with a professional interest in the classification and nomenclature of cultivated plants.
The Hortax site may also be helpful for taxonomic questions.
