botanical names

**K*@aol.com**

A few months ago there was a discussion on how to write botanic names -  what 
went into italics etc.
Yesterday I was talking to two ladies who are in charge of the SE Flower  
Show, which is modeled on the Philadelphia Show where we include flower  
arrangements etc. All the entries have to have common name plus botanical names  
written correctly.  This was straight forward until they came across a hand  
written entry.  So the question was raised - do the same conventions apply  to hand 
written script where italics are not really used. If not, how should the  
botanical name be written.

Anyone know?
Thanks
