No problem adhering to the rules However I still strongly oppose to
leaving out the species name in those cases where there is no
doubt about its identity. The AHS strongly adheres to about 20
hybrids still named as species and now the swing is to the other
side and all mutants of bonafide species are banned as species.
This completely blurrs the distinction bewteen species and hybrids
and cultivars. Just because it is difficult in some cases this is no
argument to propagate the abandonement of species names.There
is no problem with a montana Shirofukurin as long it is only used
once and all other white edged montana's are given a different
cultivar name That is what is done all the time with plants like
Patriot etc. If descriptive names are banned what about Fragrant
BLue, Gold Edger etc?
