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".
