The cultivar is a horticultural name that is appended to the botanical name and is used to identify
a named hybrid. The usual rules for forming botanical names are not followed when a new
cultivar is named. Thus new names may be in any language (although they are usually
romanized), any case, and may include peoples names or other proper nouns. Some cultivars are
even trademarked names -- this is especially true for plants that produce edible food crops.
When the botanical name is assembled for plants with a named cultivar they are surrounded by
single quotes and are set off from the name by using a non-italicized font. These single quotes are
automatically supplied by the software, you should not enter them yourself.
The cultivar is displayed using an unformatted text box.
The botanical name spell-checker is not used on cultivars.
