Re: [SANS] Sansevieria hallii

Jim

Perhaps I was not entirely clear.
One can call now Sansevieria hallii still by the common name of "Baseball
Bat" or "Baseball Bat plant", but certainly not Sansevieria 'Baseball Bat',
a cultivar name superseded by the Latin description.

Similarly, one can call Aspidistra elatior by it common name of "cast iron
plant" , but never Aspidistra 'Cast Iron' or Adenium obseum by "Desert
rose" or "Sabi rose" without adding the genus.

In fact one can call one's plant whatever one wants in any language in the
world multiplied by the miriad of collectors. This may prove to yield
thousands if not tens of thousands of names for one plant, therefore the
advantage of using only one name.
