Re: Names

Hi all
and Lowilla

When I said about my book not being paid attention to, I was not intending to
criticize anybody for not reading it, but rather that my comment in the book
was just that, a comment. I had not read the section in the Cultivar Code
regarding the same subject as I had gotten the Code quite close to closing
time for publication.
The Section in the Code has, of course, a more substantial implication.

In fact, I'd rather that you don't read the book too closely. I also wrote
"most of the plants in this book are not duly registered, that is their
description has not been published according to the way prescribed by the
Code..."
This is totally wrong. The description of the plants in the book is entirely
correct and valid.
Also Sansevieria trifasciata 'Rheingold', (p. 55) is nothing else than S. t.
'Cragii'
Lowilla, a good example here.  'Craigii' can come form 'Wagner's Gold' , as
in the book, or can come from 'Laurentii'. (by duplication of the outer
layer) I have seen that happening in Homestead, Fl. It is still the same
plant!: 'Craigii'.

I did not mention the section of the 1980 Code that discusses this point
because this is not the latest edition. The latest one is 1995 and they are
preparing a new edition. I have made a couple of proposal in the form of
questions.
