>For your information: IRAs have been in existence for over 40 years and
>they are set up and maintained by the International Society for
>Horticultural Science. There are presently 66 IRAs covering a diversity
>of taxonomic groups from family to species. Their prime role is to
>record validly published (established) cultivar names within "their"
>taxonomic group(s). They are contracted to operate with the relevant
>Codes of nomenclature.
>
>The suite of IRA web pages contain a great deal of information
>concerning the naming of cultivars and the registration process. At the
>heart of the pages is a list of the taxonomic groups covered: this is
>gradually being extended to include all groups known to contain variants
>which may be deemed as being cultivars.
>
>A useful feature is a pop-up glossary of terms encountered in the pages.
>
>Please pass this information on to all your colleagues with an interest
>in cultivated plant taxonomy.

>I should be glad to receive any comments, especially notice of any
>errors.
