Claire, what you've posted about committees/subcommittees is an especially
convoluted situation--one heck of an organizational chart, isn't it? To
complicate it further, major genuses have separate agencies for approving
registration of cultivar names. The Royal Horticultural Society, for
example, has a committee for the registration of daffodil (narcissus)
cultivars.

for species -- naturally occuring plants also promulagated pursuant to the
same authority.) >>>> >>
