They have nothing to do with the international code of *botanical* nomenclature, but there is another international code for the naming of cultivated plants. Cultivar names are regulated by that one and have a very great deal to do with it. That's where the rule "no Latin cultivar names" comes from. I don't know if it's "no Latin" or "no Latin-form or Latin-like or could-be- confused-with-Latin-by-idiots". -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Maritime Zone 8, a cool Mediterranean climate on beautiful Vancouver Island
