How to Use the List of Approved Names
The plant or its fruit will be entered as KIWI and not Chinese
gooseberry.
4. Occasionally a plant may be entered in the Reference Section either
under a narrow name or a broader category. For example, cucumbers
could be entered under "cucumber" or the broader category
"CUCURBIT." The corresponding listings in the Glossary would show:
CUCUMBER, Cucumis sativus, (may also be entered under the broader
category, CUCURBIT)
A cucurbit is any plant of the family Cucurbitaceae; includes cucumber,
gourd, melon, squash, and watermelon.
5. To save having to make several entries, a group name or scientific name
may be entered in the Reference. For example, you will find an entry
"bean." The corresponding listings would show:
BEAN, when entered in the Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Import Manual,
this term includes the following seven species: Phaseolus coccineus
(scarlet runner bean); Phaseolus vulgaris (garden bean, green bean,
kidney bean, haricot bean, pinto bean, string bean, or navy bean);
Phaseolus lunatus (lima bean or butter bean); Vicia faba (broadbean,
horse bean, silkworm bean, or asparagus bean); Vigna radiata (mung
bean or green gram); Glycine max (soybean). Find other beans by
looking up the term under its modifier: Hyacinth bean; Scarlet runner
bean; Winged bean.
6. When a plant has no common name or no generally accepted common
name, the scientific name will be entered in the Reference. The
corresponding listing would show:
Aechmea bracteata, a plant of the family Bromeliaceae in which the fruit
bearing panicle is eaten; the fruit being a berry.
7. Common names representing two different genera will specify the genus
which is enterable. Oregano may be entered:
OREGANO (Lippia spp.), OREGANO (Lippia spp. and Origanum
spp.), or OREGANO (Origanum spp.)
8. Common names which never appear in boldface, capitals, like
lucky-nut, refer to fruits and vegetables that are not enterable or no one
has ever applied for a permit for them.
