Dean,
In case you need more references the following information pinched from
another list and may be of interest to you:
<<<<The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants ("ICNCP") is
promulgated by the International Commission for the Nomenclature of
Cultivated Plants. This committee is a subcommittee of the International
Union of Botanical Sciences ("IUBS") which in turn is a subcommittee of the
International Council of Scientific Unions ("ICSU") which in turn is a
subcommittee of the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural
Organization ("UNESCO") which is a committee of the United Nations ("UN")
(Likewise there is an International Code of Botanical Nomenclature ("ICBN")
for species -- naturally occuring plants also promulagated pursuant to the
same authority.) >>>>
