The following applies primarily to the
1939 and 1949 Checklists, because
most of the cleanup of data from the
days before the registration system =
came into effect was completed by
1950.
Species are in italics.
Approved and registered names are in =
all capitals.
Unapproved and uncertain names are
in lower case. =
Synonyms and misspellings are in bold
lower case.
An asterisk preceeding a name
indicates that the variety is obsolete.
A darkened circle before the name
means that the variety is nearly
obsolete.
A dollar sign means "possibly
superceded and about to be
obsolete".
An example: MAY DAY.
The name was first registered by
Sheets in 1930, and it was approved. =
The 1939 CL shows this cultivar as
obsolete and superceded.
The name was again registered by
Hall in 1937 and was again approved. =
This corresponds to the current practice
of releasing a name for re-use if the =
cultivar has not been introduced or
used in breeding.
May Day is also given as a synonym
for MAY MORNING, a Siberian registered
in 1938.
Therefore, any MAY DAY still extant =
should be Hall's TB, a yellow blend.
